My opinion piece "Gardening Without Borders" appears in the current Fine Gardening (Nov/Dec '07) in the "Last Word" section. Hard to take yourself seriously with that concept, but of course, I do. Anyway, it compares and contrasts some of the gardening conditions in Sweden, Guatemala & Chicago. The illustration is quite nice albeit presenting a fantasy version of my gardening plot. Since the last few posts have shown what deforested mountain tops look like in NW Guatemala, here is a view looking out onto Swedish birch around the winter solstice. If you read the article, the rest of this picture will hopefully have more resonance.
I am teaching a class with this same title at the Chicago Botanic Garden on 9 February 2008. Good Luck navigating their website!
