“I like the garden,”... “Being there, it’s true. In the garden you see all the seasons come and go. Whatever you do can effect it all… but at the same time flowers don’t answer you back! Don’t give you any trouble.” G. H.

“It was his way of reminding himself and me that we are pure Spirit, and that the Spirit is in ‘every grain of sand,’ belonging everyone and no one; that nothing is ‘mine’ and that the ‘I’ we all refer to must be recognised as the little ‘i’ in the larger scheme of the Universe.” Olivia Harrison.

Hey, if you do crafts (especially things like crochet, knitting, embroidery, etc), make sure to look up how to identify when a listing is AI generated. You do NOT want to waste money on an incredible looking kit or pattern that is physically impossible to make, especially if you're on sites like etsy hoping to support an actual artist.

At Friar Park, 1970. Photo by Barry Feinstein.

“Konrad Engbers recalls how George visited the [garden] centre just after he started. ‘He came in to see me and asked how things were. I told him it was a little slow and he said “I’ll give it a little push for you.” He then bought almost every tree I had in stock and first thing the next day a motorcycle courier turned up with payment.

‘Ever since then he was one of my most loyal and regular customers.’

[…]

‘He had called in to another nursery just along the road from mine,’ said Konrad. ‘The owner there told him he didn’t serve hippies and to clear off. I had no idea who he was but we got talking and he began to visit regularly.

‘There was a small hut in the nursery that I had converted into a bar. We used to sit together and enjoy a couple of drinks. I remember one particular occasion when he played his guitar there for me.’

And George would walk down the hill from Friar Park to the market where Konrad ran a stall. ‘He would wait in the queue, take his turn and never expected any preferential treatment. One day he asked me up to his garden for advice on some trees that were dying. After that, he regularly asked for my advice on any gardening matters.’ […] ‘He was such a kind man with no airs and graces — a man with a truly big heart.’” - Henley Standard, December 2001
