Much has been written about what motivates and drives people.
Perhaps we can condense this all into the notion that at its simplest, what drives us is a desire to feel loved and accepted, to feel physically and emotionally safe.
Down the ages our desire to “be safe” has been reflected in where we choose to live, what we use to defend ourselves and who we choose to care about and trust.

Gardening is about both leading and managing change. Here are three things all successful gardeners do.
