My appreciation of plants began with my appreciation of the Robert Burns poem \u201cA Red, Red Rose.\u201d<\/p>\n

O my Luve is like a red, red rose
\nThat\u2019s newly sprung in June;
\nO my Luve is like the melody
\nThat\u2019s sweetly played in tune\u2026..<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I love the fact that plants, throughout our shared human cultures, are symbolic of expressions of love, life, remembrance, and appreciation.<\/p>\n

I take a walk through the Garden grounds nearly every day, and find moments, unique to each season, that capture these feelings. Nature, in its resiliency, offers a reflection of life and a time to reflect on our triumphs and hardships. Having the opportunity in the middle of the workday to experience the wonderments of nature helps me reconnect with myself and allows me to take on the remains of the day with the renewed vigor that only plants and nature can give.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
