Spring is here, dig in!

The birds are starting to migrate. Bulbs are pushing up from under the soil. Sunlight is bright and longer. Spring is the annual wake up call. I’ve been reading books on Renaissance art in which artists of the time place plants and flowers into their pictures using them symbolically - lilies, columbine, plantain, hay are a few. Plants have always been recognized and play an important role in daily life. Humans have always intuited this. Today, research underscores the value of plants in our daily life. They make us feel better. Plant something outside or on your window sill… watch it grow.
