My current home may be sold soon. I’ve spent nearly four years landscaping and creating a haven in my yard, but I don’t own it. If my new home doesn’t have a space I can landscape, I’ll need to find homes for my plants. I know every single one, and even in March in Wisconsin, I am walking the garden looking for new green shoots and signs of life. My last hope may be volunteering to move my garden to a city park if they’ll give me the land in exchange for my labor and donation.

I’m not happy without flowers. I garden for wildlife and I don’t want the birds and butterflies to lose another patch of habitat.
