The children whose school garden this is have been learning something more than reading and writing. Yesterday, thanks to a friend, I was able to visit and see what they’ve been growing in a beautiful garden, which is now somewhat past its prime, but still producing

food and other beautiful things

as well as lessons. The plant below, I’m informed, is okra

and this next is a pumpkin blossom. This garden obviously wants to keep on going.

After that pleasant visit, I went on over to Whole Foods for some provisioning of my own and found that they were into the school garden spirit too.

and had some lovely produce of their own to display.

I was glad for all of it, and for these flowers too.
