What do gardens, libraries and exploring have in common? - Laurel Decher Planting a tree in Palermo a few hundred years ago means a gigantic tree is still living today. A botanical garden is a living library and so is a zoo, an art

This amazing garden looks like it couldn't be real. Maybe that's why it's so cool. Where are the "reservoirs" in your life? What do gardens, libraries and exploring have in common? laureldecher.com/what-do-gardens-librarie... #heytheremaker

hand-built mug out of dark brown clay with colourful underglaze decoration

Well hello world. Giving this a gander. Figured I'd start with a mug. Everyone loves mugs right?
