Jungle's Jeff Tropical Garden in Salt Lake City Utah : (scroll down below the text to see the photos) My friend Jeff. He was a great friend, mentor, and one hell of a tropical gardener, even in Salt Lake City , Utah! He left us far too soon, he had so much more to share and teach and give to everyone. I am grateful to have been part of his life and to have known him. His soul touched everyone. I hope you enjoy these photos of his garden. He took and sent me most of these garden photos over the last few years. I was fortunate to be there and see his garden when I was in Utah for his memorial service. It's a magical, fun place to see. I also added the photos I took from our get together in southern CA in 2005. Enjoy the photos. I read this poem at Jeff's memorial service. It certainly exemplified his great big heart. How Big Is a Heart? (by Don Blanding) How big is a heart? I'll look and see. It must be high. Mine holds a tree. A redwood tree, whose silent might Calmed my fears through an angry night. It's higher still, there's a snow capped peak That the urge of youth , once bade me seek. There's a small blue star in a vast blue sky. Did you know that a heart could be so high? How big is a heart? It must be wide. Mine holds my home and the country side Where I was born. It must be deep. Here are the graves where dead years sleep. It must be broad and it must be long To hold the dear and treasured throng Of friends of every age and race. Yet it occupies such a puny place. Yet when its limits are unfurled A human heart , can hold the world
