Springtime in Santa Clara

"A garden is a place where modern women may step off the merry-go-round of their existence. It is a place to find a haven where birds and butterflies love to be.  It is a place where you can create something beautiful with a little patience.  It has the ability to make us content and calm for a moment.  Gardening was once valued because it could give women piety and refined sentiment. Gardening is creative work much like painting or writing a poem." I read this somewhere once upon a time.
