COVID-19 and horticulture: personal views

摘要

Greetings and salutations to all ISHS members! It's somewhat ironic that we all feel closer to each other now because we are apart: we have been individually "sheltering in place". Together, we are sharing the loneliness of the moment and the anxietyof the pandemic. We do what we can through teleconferencing, teleworking, and brief moments of outdoor fresh air. We send our humble thanks and recognition to our health care workers and essential employees for keeping ourselves and our social structureintact. It's 7 pm somewhere in the world right now, and our inner voices join those clapping and cheering crowds for the workers tireless efforts.
