Outdoor & Garden

Play in the Dirt or Sand

Hands in the soil, seeds pressed into the earth, the first green shoots appearing a few weeks later. Tending a garden connects us to the rhythm of a season, whether growing lettuces and tomatoes for summer suppers or flowers destined for vases throughout the house. The pleasure is as much in the tending as the harvest, in watching something grow from a tiny seed into something to admire, gather, or eat.
