This web site is dedicated to my Grandmother Mrs. Patience Sloan of Philadelphia, Pa.

She could grow anything. We would go to Longwood Gardens, Waterloo Gardens and Plants Shows when I was little. Her ashes are here in our flower bed next to the pond.

I wish all of you had a chance to meet her.

She now helps God, with his gardens!

Passed away at the age of 95, in 1998.
