Paloma Frumento 10/16/2017 2:13 PMThis past weekend, I met a neighbor who is a master gardener! I had gone outside to take a walk, and when I noticed the monarch butterflies fluttering around the dahlias that bordered her lawn, I was so delighted. I saw that someone was out in the backyard, and – inspired by the EcoChallenge – I said hello. We had a lovely conversation, and she pointed out a local park I hadn't noticed before. Afterward, I ran home to get my housemate so he could also admire her amazing garden, and she and her husband gave us a full tour. We must have talked for a whole hour.-
