I like to take in other people’s sick or discarded plants and nurse or cajole them back to health. This has given me a bit of a reputation as a plant doctor. Actually, all I do is give an ailing plant a quiet corner where it can rest and recuperate from whatever ails it—they have usually been ill-treated in some way. And it’s wonderful how quickly a small tree or plant will recover if given a little encouragement. In return, there is gentle, generous friendship.
