A Garden Walk Toni Poll-Sorensen

Along the way, I sowed both love and anger in those gardens. Sometimes, the garden was a place where I worked out my problems. And most of the times, I planted with love. I moved babies into new gardens, giving space to the mother plant or creating beautiful borders for more mature gardens. I always believed that I would be that little old lady of eighty or more years who took care of two to three acres of flower and vegetable gardens. However, as we all know, life takes strange turns. I now live in a tropical environment, and I garden in pots on my lanai. I enjoy the foliage on a protected dune, and I am still learning the names of new plant materials. I have learned about myself, my emotions, and my environment by gardening. I hope you will enjoy my reflections on life in and out of the garden.
