"Starting something from a seed and watching it gr "Starting something from a seed and watching it grow is a remarkable, breathtaking journey. It is miraculous to see all of the different things it takes to make a garden grow. If you give a garden love, you receive back from it. What you get is both beauty and harvest. Harvesting is nice of course, but for me the most exciting part of gardening is watching Mother Nature at work.” 🌱 'C' shares a lovely field note about her time in our farm stipend program. 💜
