Connecting with the Earth through Gardening






Yesterday, I planted a garden with my girls and my father. What a wonderful experience for all of us to feel the Earth in our hands, to see the critters whose homes we disturbed as we turned the soil, and to be outside just getting dirty. My 9-year-old has a green thumb; however, my 12-year-old is not much of an outdoors woman but even she planted a few! I realized how much of a great bonding experience this was - with the family and with the Earth!
