"My father had a huge forests at his disposal to experiment on, so I was exposed to insects, disease and growth in an organic sort of world. And it sort of thrilled me. A National Geographic photo of a garden is just the most beautiful thing. But there are a lot of things attacking a garden. There's a lot of slaughter and death, worms and grubs. A lot of stuff going on. It's a torment."
