I profess flowers.
I profess soil.
I profess the extravagant proliferation of blooming creativity.
I profess the love of children
and the right of children
to dirty their hands and to plant their toes in the mud,
to dapple their smiles with the pollen of lilies
tiger striped across glowing faces.
I profess joy as a birth-right,
joy as a right of passage
joy as a child-right
a human right.
Joy as a poem
a picture, a song,
a dance, a garden of color,
a rose, a plant.
I am the Flower Professor.
I profess flowers.
I confess
that I am a lover of wild and wonder.
I know what lies under the heart of a child—
the secret seed
longing
to
grow.*
Teaching young people about the diversity and abundance of the natural world is both a joy and a necessity. The Flower Professor begins simply. She plants a flower of beauty and curiosity in their hearts and minds, thus connecting the children to the life force that unites all living things. Out of this experience sprouts the adventure that will begin to enable children to bloom into knowledgeable and caring stewards of our precious planet.
Currently, The Flower Professor is offering programs in and around the Sacramento, CA area.
