We ’re pluck on those heart string for this episode — much to Steve ’s mortification . That ’s because we ’re talking about plant life in our garden that make us of think of something , someone , or some moment in time that make us happy . Maybe it ’s a plant that was passed down through the family or a shrub that reminds you of your kids because they always got stuck in it while essay to retrieve a soccer ball . For us these plants admit specimens smuggle through airports and section share by friends as housewarming nowadays . It ’s a different sort of sequence today , but it reminded us of why we garden — not just so our landscapes can face good , but because they can make us feel honorable too .
