Sunday Morning...Come Harvest with us!!

A note from Kelly, our Sunday morning gardener.

Working at Granny's Garden School early Sunday morning has become my favorite job so far, next to be a stay-at-home mom and wife.

Coming to the gardens is like a free therapy session every week! Helping to make the gardens beautiful gives me a chance to work with my hands and the stillness helps center my thoughts. At the end of my morning I feel calm and relaxed, having known that I contributed to something great and for giving myself the time to digest the past week and to prepare what lies ahead on Monday.

Along with the free therapy I receive at Granny's Garden School, I have the chance to encounter interesting people and plants, wonderful birds and cool insects. FYI- when you bring home an orange slug to show a 5 year-old boy, you are "cool mom" for the rest of the day. Also, I have had the pleasure of taking beautiful bouquets and divisions of all the wonderful plants that are in the garden. This is truly a pleasure in that I am helping make my yard a prettier place and a better environment for my children.

So I invite all of you to come out for an hour or more and enjoy all these great things and more with me on Sunday mornings. I'm usually there from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. Please respond to this email if you would like to join me.
