The principal value of a garden is not understood. It is not to give the possessors vegetables and fruit (that can be better and cheaper done by the market-gardeners), but to teach him patience and philosophy, and the higher virtues - hope deferred, and expectations blighted, leading directly to resignation, and sometimes to alienation.
Charles Dudley Warner, 1829-1900
Dandello lives in the Pacific Northwest, right on the border between Washington and Oregon, where the Columbia River comes out of the Columbia Gorge (just east of Portland, Oregon). It's a great place for year-round gardening and Dandello does that. Dandello also grows some Lavender and Thyme: Growing Lavender and Thyme.
