Get past August “Grr” with garden gifts all year long

In August , when gardeners flag “ a little,”sometimes we need a boost to get past the “ Grrr ” and remember the giving we ’ve given ourselves , our neighbors , and our wildlife .

In our gardens , we give the gift of life to the animal that partake and exalt our human race . They regress their thanks via the ultimate giving : discovery and joy .

And what a endowment when they entrust us to raise their young !
