If you plant it, they will come. If you build it, they will come. It works.

Kids need to have their own personal nature experience.

These are the living, moving parts of the garden. What a deprivation of experience it would be to have a garden without birdsong.

People want beautiful yards - you don't have to have 100 percent habitat restoration.

It's an honor system. We recognize the effort of the people, not the end product.

You may not have noticed, but I’m not what you’d call conventionally beautiful. In fact, you might say that I’m the opposite of that. Say, you know - to vocalize, sometimes ad nauseam? Do you think that there’s any minute in any day when I’m not aware of how big I am? Do you think there’s a single minute that goes by when I’m not thinking about how other people see me? Even though I have no control whatsoever over that? Don’t get me wrong - I love my body. But I’m not so much of an idiot to think that everybody else loves it. What really gets to me- what really bothers me - is that it’s all people see.
