“What’s in a
name?” Plenty. Take “The Worshipful Company of Gardeners”.
Chartered in 1605
to practice the “crafte or misterie of gardening, planting, grafting, setting,
sowing, cutting, arboring, rocking, mounting, covering, fencing and removing of
plants, herbes, seedes, fruites, [and] trees" for British Royalty –
nowadays they hang out with Princess Kate and strew her with flowers.
Meanwhile TheMen’s Garden Club of Wethersfield performs the same gardening “misteries”, but
has no monarchical cred.
But we could get
that with the right label!
Think of the
prestige! Think of the public relations!
Think of Pippa Middleton on our next calendar!
