In this episode, we chat about what makes a Successional Forest – a natural process of recovery of land impacted by a fire, logging, or farming returning to an ecologically balanced state through a succession of stages over time - given no other manufactured or natural setbacks. And describe the succession of trees at Lodestar Park in Fredon, NJ, once a farm field.
I share a bit about how Comfort Zone Camp, a grief camp for kids and young adults, helps heal and grow their lives. And wrap up with a Game of Life Day at Sussex County Technical School, helping to grow our new generation of young adults.

Welcome to Garden Dilemmas, Delights, and Discoveries.
It's not only about gardens; it's about nature's inspirations, about grasping the glories of the world around us, gathering what we learned from mother nature, and carrying these lessons into our garden of life. So, let's jump in in the spirit of learning from each other. We have lots to talk about.
