My husband, Patrick, recently turned me on to Milton Graves. He died a few days ago and I was so sad to hear it. It is a good feeling just to know that some people are out there, and then when they are gone, the world contracts a little.  We watched the documentary on his life, Milton Graves Full Mantis just a month or so ago. You should check it out. He was a herbalist too, alongside a number of other talents, and there are lots of soothing scenes of his garden, or him wandering around in it touching and talking about his plants. It was a really well done film, I loved it.
