"Knowledge is not power. The sharing of knowledge is power. It's like water – it's most useful when it's flowing. The more you share, the more you have. The more you hold back, the more it stagnates. We need to be sharing our knowledge, not just hoarding it."

Whether you start with a pot of herbs or a backyard bed, gardening offers more than food or flowers. It offers a way back to ourselves. A place to slow down while the world speeds up.
