I love the movie\u00a0\u2018The Sound of Music\u2019<\/a>.\u00a0 I have fond memories of watching it with my Grammy Oresko.<\/div>\n
A Hungarian immigrant, she came to America not speaking English. She raised eight children over ten years and single-handedly supported her family after being widowed.\u00a0 She was \u00a0one of the strongest women I know.<\/p>\n

\"American<\/a>I am graced with the good fortune of amazing women as role models in my family. Over the years I have encountered many women – in particular those in the green industry – who have been both inspirational and supportive.<\/p>\n

My \u2018Nursery Insight\u2019<\/a> column in the May issue of\u00a0American Nurseryman magazine<\/a>\u00a0features my take on\u00a0\u2018Chicks in Hort\u2019<\/a>.\u00a0I proudly call them my mentors and more importantly friends.\u00a0With Mother\u2019s Day this month, I thought it was no better time to share with you some \u2018girl power\u2019 and acknowledge just a few of those ladies making our world a little greener!<\/div>\n

Through the ages, people have always had a deep spiritual connection to trees.\u00a0Celtic lore states hawthorn as well as oak and ash\u00a0contained spirits. Hawthorn trees were used for\u00a0rune inscriptions.\u00a0They were also used as a ‘living\u00a0hedge’ to mark land boundaries and enclose livestock during the 17th and 18th centuries.<\/div>\n
