This is the same philosophy that guided the creation of The Nook: creating spaces that inspire creation. Nature’s a huge component of that. At minimum, it’s the canvas, and many times, as with an orchard, it’s the whole painting (we just added the frame).
As I think about my life’s mission, I believe a big part of it is this: to craft places people love. Places which people love, and places where people love.
Now let me nudge you a little: go plant a fruit tree—or better yet, plant three. Would elevate any hotel, restaurant, homestead, neighborhood, park, patio, or backyard. The investment is modest (a sapling costs $30), but the dividends are extraordinary, and three-fold:
The experience of tending it, the beauty of watching it grow and change through seasons, and yes—the joy of finally picking fruit (but that’s just the cherry on top—sorry, I couldn’t resist).
Appreciate you reading & sharing, and I hope each one of you has a wonderful week.
I love you all.
