The Challenge We Now Face Is To

Some May Wonder Why I Chose Wildflowers When There Are Hunger And Unemployment And The Big Bomb In The World. Well, I, For One, Think We Will Survive, And I Hope That Along The Way We Can Keep Alive Our Experience With The Flowering Earth. For The Bounty Of Nature Is Also One Of The Deep Needs Of Man.

My Special Cause, The One That Alerts My Interest And Quickens The Pace Of My Life, Is To Preserve The Wildflowers And Native Plants That Define The Regions Of Our Land-to Encourage And Promote Their Use In Appropriate Areas, And Thus Help Pass On To Generation In Waiting The Quiet Jobs And Satisfactions I Have Known Since My Childhood.

Though The Word Beautification Makes The Concept Sound Merely Cosmetic, It Involves Much More: Clean Water, Clean Air, Clean Roadsides, Safe Waste Disposal And Preservation Of Valued Old Landmarks As Well As Great Parks And Wilderness Areas. To Me … Beautification Means Our Total Concern For The Physical And Human Quality We Pass On To Our Children And The Future.

How Lucky We Are To Have Such A Treasure Of Memories.

My Heart Found Its Home Long Ago In The Beauty, Mystery, Order And Disorder Of The Flowering Earth. I Wanted Future Generations To Be Able To Savor What I Had All My Life.
