Focus on Flowers'
In her professional life she has authored many research articles and textbooks and believes that caring for her garden is similar in many ways to writing and editing. The gardener must have an organizational and design plan, be able to edit out specimens and revise sections of gardens that don't work and have a vision of how each element fits into the overall landscape. A garden is always evolving, never complete or finished, but constantly surprising the owner with unexpected and unplanned combinations of flowers because of serendipity, weather and self seeded specimens. She began gardening because she wanted to always have flowers for her house, and her goal is never to be without something blooming throughout the entire growing season. She likes to share her plants and flowers and is fond of the Chinese proverb: "The fragrance of flowers stays in the hands of those who give them."

For
Moya Andrews, gardening is more than just having pretty flowers
to look at-it's a passion. In Focus on Flowers she shares not only
gardening tips, but some of her fervor for the esthetic of gardens,
on occasion even considering gardening as a metaphor for certain
aspects of life. She is a Master Gardener, and a member of the Bloomington
(IN) Garden Club. In her garden she concentrates on flowers, especially
perennials. Moya was born in Australia and has lived in Indiana
since she joined the faculty of Indiana University in 1971.
