Thought of the Day

When Gertrude Stein said “A rose is a rose is a rose is a rose”, it shows that, while she may have been a wise woman, she knew nothing about gardening. 

Garden writer and blogger, author of 65 gardening books, lecturer and communicator, the Laidback Gardener, Larry Hodgson, passed away in October 2022. Known for his great generosity, his thoroughness and his sense of humor, he reached several generations of amateur and professional gardeners over his 40-year career. Thanks to his son, Mathieu Hodgson, and a team of contributors, laidbackgardener.blog will continue its mission of demystifying gardening and making it more accessible to all.

  1. She’s a woman?

  2. A rather odd family, Stein –
    There’s Gert, there’s Erwin and Ein;
    Erwin’s music is junk,
    Gert’s writing is bunk,
    And nobody understands Ein!
