“California poppy: A native California wildflower with golden, star-shaped blooms whose soft, citrusy scent inspires hope and healing”
Meg Donohue, The Memory Gardener

“But I know that I’ve always had a connection to plants, an ability to care for them in a way that makes them thrive quickly, vibrantly, fragrantly. And among the flowers that I grow… I’m able to sense when there is a fragrance that will return a person to a forgotten moment in time, a long-buried memory. Scents have always been heightened for me… the scents of the flowers that I grow most of all.”
Meg Donohue, The Memory Gardener

“Grey musk sage: A flowering herb in the mint family with fragrant foliage and violet flowers whose calming scent aids connection to the spiritual world”
Meg Donohue, The Memory Gardener

“Rock rose: A hearty, flowering shrub profusely laden with papery blossoms whose warm, amber scent strengthens resilience”
Meg Donohue, The Memory Gardener

“I've always loved dogs. You know how some people can't pass a baby without stopping to coo in his pudgy little face? I'm like that with dogs. And puppies? Forget it. I'm convinced that petting a puppy is good luck. Some people rub Buddha bellies; I pet puppies. I've been known to trail a puppy for blocks just to have the chance. It seems to me that believing in the luck of puppies makes a lot more sense than believing in, say, a lucky number. Can a number remind you of the power of pure, unconditional love? Can a number embody loyalty or joie de vivre or goodness or friendship or... Well, you get my drift. I love dogs.”
Meg Donohue, Dog Crazy
