#simplifying

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

Like most people, I don't make a big deal about new year's #resolutions, but I always have some, at least in my mind. Typically, they are lose weight, get in shape, maybe climb a mountain, write something big, etc.

I'm not saying I don't/won't have any of those resolutions (read: vague hopes) but I'm thinking of one resolution: to begin #simplifying my life—reducing the number of things I have, saying "no" more often, controlling my buying-things-cravings, etc.

I think this is fundamental.

#OTD Karl Forster, #German #Plant #Breeder, died.

At 18, he took over his family's Berlin nursery, which was a mess.

Karl #Streamlined the #Business by #Simplifying his #Plant inventory. He was especially drawn to #Tough, #LowMaintenance, #Hardy #Perennials.

Karl used 3 factors to determine whether a plant would be sold in his #Nursery: #Beauty, #Resilience, & #Endurance.

Karl once wrote,
"A #Garden without #Phlox is not only a sheer mistake but a #Sin against #Summer."
