  • What crying in her car made crystal clear for Edwina

  • How Edwina set aside her “city girl” identity to learn everything she could about gardening and share it with her students and her mom.
  • What nature teaches us about our own growth.
  • What gardening [and a blooming lemon tree] taught Edwina about life.
  • Edwina’s surprising and beautiful “obsession” after a big storm in Texas.
