Uncharted times can raise the flag for uncharted territories. A new house, a fresh slate of a garden, and a novel amount of time on their hands, with the recent request for sheltering in place, has brought with it the opportunity to transform the immediate landscape for a beloved set of my clients.

When the view around us tightens in focus, our ability to modify, to toil with that narrowed scene can bring an evolving sense of the outlook, a renewed optimism. The simple pleasures of dirt under our fingers instead of our familiar keyboard, the installation of trellis wires as opposed to cable wires, and the promise of a few young clematis starts to grow into a wall of color next Spring might just be the varied cultivation we need to get us to the next chapter.
