Two years and 3 months later I am re-reading this wonderful piece by Fletch. It is a beautiful memory and a reminder that if you venture forth and stop to talk to people you are truly living. Put down your phones, step outside your bubble, leave fear behind. It was a joy to meet Julia and be invited to enjoy her whimsical and inventive garden. It's high time for another road trip.
Things keep growing like the Garden. I am deeply appreciative that you took the time to turn around and tour, but you went ten extra miles to highlight the Garden with photos and a very vivid essay. I guess I have learned soil, sand comes in abundance and has a myriad of uses. Years ago I relished working in Silicon Valley, where people see and use sand to create Micro-Chips which serve as the brains of all things technical. Now I get to create soil compounds and compost to grow and create a Garden. I am thankful for all of my experiences. Again Thanks - Julia (Gardenist).
This is really a spectacular connection to make. I wish I'd thought of it myself—I see this newsletter as a seed planted, so it fits right in with my own preferred metaphors. Glad you like the piece; more to come!

Yeah it is. Sorry I keep dragging my feet. I gotta quit my job.
