“My contact with the soil is the most important part. I want my clients to feel the garden, the earth, the soil. Digging your fingers into the soil means the world to me. Time stops and all your problems fade away when you check the soil for moisture, when you look at the plants. Working the soil helps,” Juta Krulc, Slovenian landscape architect, told Outsider magazine on her 100th birthday.
