Since I was a little person I remember gardening. The feeling of having my hands in the soil and the grit under my fingernails still excites me.
The most basic of human needs - FOOD is often taken for granted. Thank you to my family for teaching me how to plant and grow my own food. In addition to sharing this with my daughter I have been fortunate enough to share this passion with others in the Trenton NJ region.
One of those people is Landscape Architect David Byers. David and I have built several gardens in the Trenton area including the Community/Share Garden of the Bethany House of Hospitality.
Like most of my efforts, the garden at BHOH was the culmination of several partners looking to build a better community.
Recently I stopped by the former home of the Senior Paster of the Bethany Presbyterian Church to deliver some books to the #lbot Library Box and chatted with BHOH residents, David and Linda Konrad-Byers as they worked on expanding the garden.
