( Food for thought, or not.)

Linguist, philosopher Noam Chomsky:

 on seeking what is significant:

"You can't expect somebody to become a biologist by giving them access to the Harvard University biology library and saying, "Just look through it." That will give them nothing. The internet is the same, except magnified enormously. 

The person who wins the Nobel Prize in biology is not the person who read the most journal articles and took the most notes on them. It's the person who knew what to look for. 

Cultivating that capacity to seek what's significant, always willing to question whether you're on the right track, that's what education is going to be about, whether it's using computers and internet, or pencil and paper and books."

   

When we remove native plants from our gardens to make room for manicured lawns and non-native flowers, we are also removing butterflies, bird song, and the buzzing of bees.

No matter where you live, there are beautiful native plants that can thrive. We need to train our eyes to recognize the beauty of native plants and gardens that have space for nature and animals.

What native plants do you have in your garden?
