Children seem to experience a singular wonder when you put them in a garden -- something beyond the splendor of the grass, the blush of a plump pear, and the inviting smells and creatures. They also tend to tune in to what that garden says about its curator.
Today we'll take a walk through my garden, but please enter with a child's honest curiosity. As you survey the bean vines flanked with flowers, perhaps you'll see an unlikely shelter. I know I did.
A garden is a collection of true joy, a place to nurture life and encourage sustenance -- but it's also a home for cherished treasures, fond memories, and celebrations of a gardener's inner child and spirit.
