  A personal account of what it means to become a gardener. 
  To make her new house in Connecticut truly feel like home, Catie Marron decided to create a garden. But while she was familiar with landscape design, she had never grown anything. A dedicated reader with a lifelong passion for literature, Marron turned to the library of gardening books she’d collected to glean advice from a variety of writers on gardening and horticultural topics both grand and small.  
  Marron’s quest to become a gardener, however, was about more than learning the basics about mulch or which plants work best in the shade. She sought something far more elusive: to identify the core qualities and characteristics that make a person a gardener and an understanding of what a garden could mean to her as it had to multitudes of other gardeners over the centuries. 
  In Becoming a Gardener, Catie Marron chronicles her transformation into a gardener over the course of eighteen months, seeding the details of her experience with rich advice from writers as diverse as Eleanor Perényi and Karel Capek, Penelope Lively, and Jamaica Kincaid. As she digs deeper into her readings and works in the garden itself, Marron not only discovers the essence of gardening but in the words of Michael Pollan, “the endlessly engrossing ways that cultivating a garden attaches a body to the earth.” 
  A delightful blend of informed opinion, personal reflection, and practical advice, Becoming a Gardener explores topics as varied as the composition of dirt, the agricultural wisdom of avid kitchen gardeners George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, the healing power of digging in the soil, and the beauty of finding solitude in nature. Throughout, Marron carefully plants special illustrated features, such as musings on the merits (and detriments) of the rose, essential tools, moonlight gardening, children’s books which feature gardens, and her favorite gardens around the world. Also included is an annotated list of recommended writers, books, and films related to gardens and gardening, and a monthly to-do calendar. 
  Becoming a Gardener is a very special and moving portrait of life and the enduring power of literature and nature that is sure to become an instant classic.

  SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION 
    
  CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB 
    
  SpongeBob SquarePants is an American animated series created by Stephen Hillenburg, first airing in 1999. It follows the adventures of SpongeBob and his aquatic friends in Bikini Bottom. The show is a surreal comedy that appeals to a wide range of ages and is considered a cultural touchstone of Millennials and Gen Z. SpongeBob works as a fry cook at the Krusty Krab, and his neighbor, Plankton, is his rival, who tries to steal the Krabby Patty secret formula. The series has received numerous awards and has been adapted into various media including films, video games, and merchandise. The show is also known for its memes and has had both critical praise and some controversy. 
    
  CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
    
  The show SpongeBob SquarePants was initially intended to be called SpongeBoy Ahoy!, but the name "SpongeBoy" was already copyrighted. This led to the name change to SpongeBob SquarePants, with "SquarePants" being inspired by Tom Kenny's remark about a sponge in square pants.  
    
  Before creating SpongeBob SquarePants, Stephen Hillenburg taught marine biology at the Ocean Institute in California. He created a comic book called The Intertidal Zone for the institute, which featured anthropomorphic sea creatures that later became SpongeBob characters.  
    
  SpongeBob SquarePants does not use written scripts; instead, storylines are developed by a team of writers who create outlines and then hand them to storyboard directors. The storyboard directors add most of the dialogue and jokes, using methods like Post-it notes to assemble the storyboards.

  The Art of Permaculture -...

  Permaculture is more than just a gardening method; it is a holistic design system that seeks to mimic the natural world to create sustainable, resilient, and productive environments. At its core, permaculture is grounded in principles that prioritize ecological balance, efficient use of resources, and long-term sustainability. It offers an alternative approach to conventional agriculture and landscaping by encouraging the creation of self-sustaining ecosystems that require minimal input from external resources. 
  The term "permaculture" is derived from a combination of “permanent” and “agriculture,” though it has since evolved to encompass more than just agricultural practices. Permaculture is a design philosophy that aims to create systems that are not only ecologically sound but also socially and economically sustainable. It is a system of ethics and principles that can be applied to all areas of life, from food production and energy systems to community building and even urban planning. 
  One of the key tenets of permaculture is the concept of working with nature rather than against it. This means observing the natural systems around us—how water flows, how plants interact with each other, and how animals move within their environment—and designing systems that work in harmony with these natural patterns. By doing so, permaculture seeks to reduce waste, lower energy consumption, and minimize human impact on the planet.
