Hortus sanus: Don't ignore Mother Nature's laws and rules

Symphyotrichum oblongifolium 'October Skies'
The laws of nature can not be broken!

You must learn to accept and abide by Mother Nature’s laws to achieve hortus sanus in your garden, or you will find yourself in a state of hortus insanus.

You can’t make water flow uphill.

You can’t specify the amount of rain and snow you want to fall on your garden.

You can’t control the speed of the wind.
