The Virtual Peace Garden

Another new angle on the Virtual Peace Garden: Defiant Gardens.

"Defiant gardens surprise us by their presence and persistence. These
are gardens against the odds...Defiant gardens first astonish by their
mere presence, and then they astonish when we recognize the sheer force
of will and effort that created and sustained them. Such gardens are
interrogative places, prodding us to ask questions...."

I'm going to need more "sheer force of will and effort" to really pull off my defiant garden, but this provides another rationale for doing the VPG in Wartime.
