Love this woman. That smile <3. We will miss her so.

Pamela was my mentor and was a constant teacher to me. My first 2 garden installations were with her, including a very visible one on Brattle Street...she made my novice work look good, filling out my plan with bulbs and perennials that I did not yet know how to thread into the garden, she teaching me with each step of fine gardening building.

We will miss her vibrant spirit and we will think of her often,...

Pamela Hart. A treasure.
