This article brought back many great memories. Written by a beloved former 3rd grade teacher of my older daughter, it contains an interview with the impactful woman who founded and maintains the wonderful ‘secret garden’ at my girls’ elementary school. Both my daughters spent many, many imaginative hours there during school lunches and recesses. I am sure this special place contributed to their strong love of the natural world.
Thank you for reading Libby. I'm glad it brought back memories for you. So many students love that garden and look forward to exploring each day. I definitely remember yours coming back to class with nature treasures! Marilyn is a gift to the community.
Love the intergenerational, community, and nature aspects of this piece and of Marilyn's work. You want to know one of the best things that could happen right now? I go give myself a facial with lamb's ear.
