Walk away from it until you're stronger, All your problems will be there when you get back, but you'll be better able to cope.

Native plants give us a sense of where we are in this great land of ours. I want Texas to look like Texas and Vermont to look like Vermont.

Almost every person, from childhood, has been touched by the untamed beauty of wildflowers.

Where flowers bloom so does hope.

I love Washington, but it is a self-important town.

Wildflowers are the stuff of my heart!

My special cause, the one that alerts my interest and quickens the pace of my life, is to preserve the wildflowers and native plants that define the regions of our land-to encourage and promote their use in appropriate areas, and thus help pass on to generation in waiting the quiet jobs and satisfactions I have known since my childhood.
