The essay (linked below) appeared on Sunday in Oregon ArtsWatch. Longish piece, but I had to tackle one of my pet peeves:
Botanical gardens (joy) across the world are invaded by sculpture shows (irritation.)

Photographs today are botanical garden cacti, deliciously prickly to match the sentiment. And a shoutout to all the beloved German grandparents who raised them on their window sills….
and here is today’s poem:
On A Fieldtrip To The Botanical Gardens, Kenya Gets A Lesson (Not In The Lesson Plan)

What interesting, knotty issues you raised in your Sunday piece! Thanks for sharing.
