GardenOpus – The Book – An Informed Topical Memoir of Discovery and Redemption

Through informed, topical memoir, I trace the mysterious – often uplifing, sometimes foreboding – underbelly of commercial Horticulture, an industry not well-understood even by avid gardeners – and depending upon their industry niche and exposure – many professionals.

In apprehensive times, many connect to the Earth for solace - and may then find deliverance in the garden. Deliverance came to me as a toddler, when my Mother died suddenly. Through the anguish of post-traumatic shock - I became wide-eyed in wonderment by all that grows. Soon, in my refuge of garden and nature, I'd find shelter from storms to come. Later, immersed in professional Horticulture - an industry with storms of its own - I quickly realized plants, companies, and people alike are replete not only with triumph and accomplishment, but also cautionary, or even malevolent, backstories!
