curious and adv enturous son. Hav ing room to roam, get lost among <br />trees and clouds, and hear only sounds of nature...these gifts were <br />cultiv ated within me as a child and now I can share them with my son. <br />The ability to bend, weather a storm and not break...such an <br />admirable quality that trees possess. Grounded among your peers, <br />rooted in a faith that nourishes, and reaching toward sustainable <br />light." <br />Blythe, from the series, Blythe’s Garden <br />“It was a sweet moment when my grown son stopped one spring day <br />in the middle of our front walk beneath the bushes we replanted from <br />my childhood home, inhaled deeply, and said, ‘It smells like Ma’s <br />house.’ “Ma” was my mother who liv ed in Georgia and had the same <br />gardenia growing in her front yard that is now by my front door. <br />Gardening started out as a ’substitute’ hobby for some of the things I <br />could no longer physically do, but has become a major interest and <br />lov e of mine. Many of my plants are liv ing, physical connections to <br />people and places of my past. " <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: 1AE6DFB9-6CAD-4F01-8A7D-8182FE87BEB6
