Skipper the Squirrel is a playful and opportunistic rodent. He lives in the attic rafters of Garden Talk’s, Gardening Institute and Juice Bar, cleverly disguised as a cheap hotel on the Berlin Turnpike.

Since the mission of the Gardening Institute is to promote gardening through realistic natural practices, we try to listen to what nature has to tell us. Unfortunately, all we are hearing lately is the raspy, pestering voice of a grey squirrel with an opinion, an attitude and a grasp of the English language.

Here, for better or worse, are the rants of Skipper the Squirrel. He’s no Jiminy Cricket, but he’s the only voice in the wilderness at the moment.
