Old men sit in the shade because they planted a tree many years before. -Ugandan proverb I see humanity now as one vast plant, needing for its highest fulfillments only love, the natural blessings of the great outdoors, and intelligent crossing and selection. In the span of my own lifetime I have observed such wondrous progress in plant evolution that I look forward optimistically to a healthy, happy world as soon as its children are taught the principles of simple and rational living. We must return to nature and nature’s God. -Luther Burbank #moortenbotanicalgarden #nature #ecotravel #plants #cacti #succulents #mindfulness #meditation #chakras #crystals #zeroscape #plantbased #vegan #consciousliving
