These are some fun pictures of two first year gardeners. The first is Evvy Trujillio and her daughters who planted for the first time. They did an amazing job, and worked together faithfully to raise what you see.
The younger couple is going to get a garden in 2014, but they are preparing already. Elder Olson will help them get things going tomorrow. Tate and Nellie are very excited and said they would be glad to help someone next year get theirs started. They are going to plant a few "cool weather things" after their soil is prepped. It was fun to watch and listen as they were planning where they would plant theirs.
More and more participants are wanting to help mentor in their neighborhoods.
The older woman is a first year gardener also and the younger couple are related. They have already benefited from her garden.
Not sure you can see the handful of grapes the little boy has clutched in his hand. All of them were excited to see our grapes and sample the harvest. It is so fun to share.
They were introduced to the young Elders who happened to drive into the parking lot as we visited. It was a great way to introduce them to each other.
We may be planting seeds in the gardens that will grow into things they can eat, but we are also planting spiritual seeds that will grow into testimonies and feed them forever as they learn, accept and live the gospel principles.
You would think that after all this time, I would be able to download the pictures right, but they always end up being switched, but I know you will figure things out.
Sister Olson
