One of my greatest memories is the admiration and appreciation that my father, Joseph Manda, had for Nature.  He wrote about it, photographed it, and lived it by growing and nurturing it. Guess you could say it was a hobby that got out of hand.

   

Making a living at it was never on the radar.  It was the experience and wonder of it all. The oohhs and ahhhs of Nature are unmatched. The wonder of God's creation still leads me to say "WOW! 

 

I still have that same sense of wonder I acquired from my father 49 years ago. We pride ourselves on giving friends the information they need to be successful in their attempt at growing.

   

I happen to be an adult who makes mud pies and, amazingly, I get paid for it! 

 

What could be better?
