The DuBrule Diaries

Natureworks was started by Nancy DuBrule in 1983. With $500 and an old orange Datsun truck, Nancy began taking care of gardens in the Branford area. Within a year, Natureworks opened a retail store in a converted gas station in Stony Creek. In 1990, Natureworks moved to Rt. 22 in Northford. An older home was converted to the garden center, surrounded by organic demonstration gardens. Natureworks now employs up to 25 people during the growing season including landscape, retail, and office staff.

Flowers Having Fun

Lupines embrace a rose

Day 25
The Daily DuBrule

I am in a playful mood today. I have spent a lot of time lately picking out fun photos of "plants in love" or "fooling around". I get such a kick out of coming upon this secret love life that flowers have. It is delightful to think that every day is Valentine's Day to the flowers in our world!

I have also been thinking about the principle of Feng Shui that to enliven your relationship sector you should use powerful symbols of love (such as hearts) or things in pairs.

How fitting it is to study these images when the rest of the world is turning to commercial displays of love.

Say it with flowers!
