HEM Takes a Closer
Look:Gardening
Usually children spend
more time in the garden than
anybody else. It is where they
learn about the world, because
they can be in it unsupervised,
yet protected. Some gardeners
will remember from their own
earliest recollections that
no one sees the garden as vividly,
or cares about it as passionately,
as the child who grows up in
it. Carol Williams, Bringing
a Garden to Life
While planning this year's
garden, there are seed packets
scattered across our table and
I'm reminded of the classic
children's book, The Carrot
Seed by Ruth Kraus. It is
a small little classic that
tells the story of a little
boy planting a seed. He tends
to it daily even though his
parents and older brother contininually
doubt that it will grow. It
ends with: "And then, one
day, a carrot came up just as
the little boy had known it
would." Of course, it is
a huge carrot that any gardener
would be proud of! Over
the years, almost all our seeds
have come up, but we've learned
by experience which seeds do
best in our soil and those that
do not. Gardening is hands-on-learning
at its best.
I hope you enjoy the following
gardening articles and resources
here.
