Gardening as Stress Relief

Of course it's not all about men.  I have a lot gardening to do.

Even though I don't have my own garden anymore, I find it a great source of stress relief to work in other people's gardens.  (And now I get paid to garden, which makes it even better.)  Virtually any garden will do.  Try it!  You'll be amazed at how good it feels to dig in the dirt after a long, hard, meaningless day at work.

If you don't want to get dirty, hire someone like me to get dirty for you.

I love to bring attention to some of the wonderful businesses that don't have big advertising budgets.  From time to time I will feature a business, artist, or product that I think you should know about.

For instance, there is a fabulous place near Portland, Oregon, on Sauvie Island, and it's called Cistus Nursery.  They specialize in "zonal denial".  It's worth a trip to Portland even if you don't live there.  My incredibly talented friend, Drew Forsell, a landscape designer, landscape architect, and jardinier extraordinaire, introduce me to it.  Here is their website:
