Gardens

Garden Inspiration #1: The Weatherby rain boot from J.Crew.

I like my topic because I like gardening culture. I don't call myself a gardener, because I'm sure my family would have something to say about that, but do come from stock that can grow amazing tomatoes from seedlings and turn a backyard into a tropical plant sanctuary. As a garden groupie, I naturally gravitate toward garden attire. Rain boots actually double really well as gardening boots. They also contribute really well to my vision of a metaphorical garden groupie--who goes to a botanic garden? Why do they go? Do you have to know anything about nature to appreciate it? How do different types of people appreciate and interact with nature? Do botanic gardens or arboretums do enough to address all of those different types of garden groupies?
