littler community gardeners ..


it's so delightful to watch the children at the garden .. they get in to lots of different activities .. some made for them .. others of their own making .. as i was puttering around in the garden, this past saturday, i witnessed this impromptu display of community gardening ..(before i go on, i apologize for any misspelled names) ..


 it all began with nicola .. she was helping glen at their plot ..

before i knew it, fay happened by to see what was going on ..

so .. nicola showed fay what she'd been up to ..

pretty soon, along came immogen .. with her shovel .. ready to join in ..


by this time, having got the project scoop from nicola, fay took the initiative to dig ..

next time i looked, lola had brought her shovel, too, and just dug right in ..

 a little later, i passed by ocea, kazaya and lenni, who were hard at it .. it looks like they're taking their cue from immogen ..
 
there was quite the little convergence of small gardeners .. and parents ..

everyone having fun gardening together ..
then .. it was time to clean up ..

'timing is everything' .. it would seem my timing was pretty spot on .. how wonderful to be witness to this burst of spontaneous creation in the garden .. glen and jess and nicola's bed benefitted from some extra kid energy .. and, i trust lynn is pleased with the progress in her bed .. "many hands make light work" ..

so, i invite you to come down some saturday, and suggest that you, too, will witness delightful moments unfolding before your very eyes ..


even little ruxton was eager to help .. in his fashion ..
