Slow Gardening movement saunters ahead

Felder Rushing, a horticulturalist and radio-show host, has become the face of the “slow gardening” movement, The New York Times reported. The term comes from the Slow Food movement, whose adherents believe in using local ingredients harvested in an environmentally responsible way. The Slow Gardening doctrine calls for gardeners to relax, take their time and follow seasonal rhythms, instead of doing everything at once — an urge that’s especially prevalent in early spring.

This is what I preach at my seminars ad nauseum during the winter months. I tell my customers we get lonely in August and February!

There is a reason divisions and cuttings are taken at two different times in the garden. When I tell them that I think they start to understand.
