"All Children are Born Artists"

"All children are born artists" 
P.Picasso


There is a beauty watching 
children take ownership and pride in something that they are doing. This past weekend we got a good amount of time to work in and for our garden. We even found the time to paint signs on the pieces of wood we recycled from the old picnic tables. Each vegetable will have it's own little sign and picture created by our very own artists and gardeners. When you see a child running her hands through the sun warmed soil happily enjoying its softness you can't help but smile at there sincerity and beauty. 
As an adult I learn something new from them every time I am in their presence, I see things with new eyes and it refreshes me, helps me breath. 



Giving each child an opportunity to play a role in this garden, no matter what it may be is never a small role but rather a vital role in the growth of our garden.The point of it is to touch each and every one of them with the beauty that being a part of nature allows.


"The fact that I can plant a seed and it becomes a flower, share a bit of knowledge and it becomes another's, smile at someone and receive a smile in return, are to me continual spiritual exercises."
Leo Buscaglia
