    #OTD Karl Forster, #German #Plant #Breeder, died.

    At 18, he took over his family's Berlin nursery, which was a mess.

    Karl #Streamlined the #Business by #Simplifying his #Plant inventory. He was especially drawn to #Tough, #LowMaintenance, #Hardy #Perennials.

    Karl used 3 factors to determine whether a plant would be sold in his #Nursery: #Beauty, #Resilience, & #Endurance.

    Karl once wrote,
    "A #Garden without #Phlox is not only a sheer mistake but a #Sin against #Summer."

  2. > We all know what demanding pets cats can be, but what about #dogs? You ever seen a #dog turn up its nose at a $200 bed, or the five-dollar-a-can gourmet food you bought for it at the organic pet store? Of course not. Why not? Because dogs are highly #adaptable. They’re #lowmaintenance , #accommodating, and they acclimate to their surroundings with ease.
