I treasure springtime and the rebirth of our living planet.

THINK ACTION: If you love to draw, maybe sketch and color a flower, a shrub or a tree. Do you enjoy photographing buds, blooms and insects? What colors do you prefer in the yard and borders? Use more of it in your landscape this year. If you don’t own a patch of land, could you join a community garden or share a plot? Borrow a friend’s neglected stretch of backyard? Have you ever tried container or raised beds? Why not place a few herbs and African Violets on your windowsill? Like cooking, gardening is a way to teach the young in a playful manner. How could you involve them in your next project?
