The Gardener has been in exile from the garden. In fact, the Garden has been for sale for several months and, although a number of people have expressed interest, the right buyer has not yet come along. If and when the right person shows an interest in carrying on, there will be a sale.
Why?
The answer is very simple: The Garden participates in the October breast cancer awareness program, as described in the post below.
There have been more visitors to this site in relationship to that post than ever before in this site’s history.
That post generated more comments than any other post. Many folks took the time to leave a comment in support of the campaign to raise money for the American Cancer Society. In fact, comments are still being posted expressing support.
And yet . . . not a single person participated in the campaign. Not one. Not a single penny was raised.
Why? Well, I have lots of theories, none of which really matter.
The fact that so many people feigned interest and support, but completely failed to follow through, disappointed and discouraged me to the point that I decided to sell the site and quit blogging. In fact, it has taken me many months to muster the strength to sign on and write this post expressing my feelings.
We are by nature flawed and imperfect beings. But that not a single poster stepped up and put his/her money where his/her comment was by actually making a donation was too much for me. Just. too. much.

There are also flower shops that offer flower arrangements and consulting services for big parties such as weddings and birthday celebrations. Such services typically include floral decorations and arrangements for the venues and churches. Corsages and bouquets are also included depending on the deal.

This is my first visit on your blog and I found it so interesting and valuable. Thanks a lot. I also hope that the new owner will be good also.
We donate to quite a few civic concerns not the least of which is cancer research. If you still own the blog this fall I can promise you we will donate something.

Good luck to the new owner! I wish you all the best too.
My bestfriend’s mom just died recently because of breast cancer. The Gardener’s campaign was a very good one, and it’s too bad I only get to read it just now. My bestfriend and I have been helping charities through different reach out programs, and this is something that we do.
So sorry about what happened. Well, Goodluck to you and Wish you all the best.

Wow, that’s horrible. I don’t know why people would lie about that. I think it’s just hard to say no to something like that.
Curious what the site ended up selling for.
