#OTD Mrs. Francis King, pen name of Louisa Boyd Yeomans King, wrote in The #Flower #Garden Day by Day:

"If you live in that uncommon spot [where] there is no #GardenClub, organize one.

If it has but ten members, it will be worthwhile — perhaps more [so] than one with two hundred.

The reason for garden clubs is the chance they give for:
Discussion of #Gardening... Comparing plans & #Plantings... & [Delighting] in a society which... furthers "the purest of human pleasures."

"It looks like all those simple #plantings and #biodiversity that you've adorned the exterior of the home with so that you don't need to use an #airConditioner ever, is not the normal thing. I also don't like how you #repurpose things in unique ways."

"How about I evict you?"

It maddens us to hear stories like this.
