I did manage to tear myself from my garden on a lovely Saturday in order to go to Andrea Wulf's talk on her book The Brother Gardeners. I really enjoyed myself too! In addition to a small reception at the beautiful (and HUGE) Nashville Public Library, all folks in attendance were treated to a warm, witty, entertaining and immensely good talk from one of London's authors and gardeners.
I videotaped a short clip for your entertainment. Here Andrea talks of the five stages of grief people go through when they lose a loved one. It has been shown that gardeners also suffer the five stages when they lose a plant. Ha! But we already knew that. She also talks of the governmental expenses for 'plants' when asking for reimbursement for job related expenses. Gotta love it.
Ms. Wulf was even gracious enough to pose for a picture with me and she signed my book. I very much appreciated that. I also would like to thank the nice lady who took three pictures to get one decent one (didn't get her name-sorry).If Andrea Wulf comes to talk in your area, I promise you won't be sorry if you go and hear her talk and see her slides. For now I'm....
in the garden.....
