I've been spending a lot of time at the greenhouses and gardens at the Arboretum. I've been obsessed with greenhouses since a child. We would go visit relatives that owned greenhouses near my grand-parents house and I was instantly in a trance when i stood in front of the closed doors.

A fun escape for a child that has certainly continued into adulthood. In the very near future my office will be a greenhouse...

I need the sea for it teaches me...Pablo Neruda
