The Shelburne Garden Club stopped by for a chat and a tour, and we had the best time talking about favorite vegetable varieties, techniques for growing vegetables in containers and best of all, why gardening is important to us. Basically, it was a complete love-fest. Can you tell by our beaming faces that we had a great time? There is nothing more filled with hope than a group of women talking about gardens in April. One person told us that gardening with our plants has changed her life because we have made it so easy and given her advice she can trust. She now sits in her garden each day and takes in the beauty around her. Others shared with us that we have made lettuce growing a joy rather than a frustration by offering such interesting varieties and explaining how to plant them in succession. But maybe best of all was meeting Mrs.Babe Goss. Do you see her there in the center, resplendent in the purple coat. She is in her 90's and sharp as a tack and absolutely gorgeous. She told me that the secret to her glowing beauty and health is eating vegetables for 92 years and always being active in the garden. My heart just melted. Do you see how I am smiling so hard that my face is perhaps going to break?
And then these things happened, along with about a million other amazing tasks accomplished by our very hard working crew....
