Philosophy of life and gardening A Website by Steve Richards steverichards.notion.site I enjoy gardening the most when it aligns with my broader philosophy of life, so I thought readers might like to see that philosophy and see how I apply it to gardening.

Do we need that part? Can we get it to perform the function of the other four parts?" Walter Isaacson, Steve Jobs Like designing things for the first time
