Red Wagons and a Trip Through the Choke Cherry Trees! Fort Collins Nursery invites TGP into the Nursery! :)

In order to live off a garden, you practically have to live in it.
                                                               -Frank McKinney Hubbard

… and this summer, thanks to the Fort Collins Nursery, we got to live at the nursery!

TGP spent 3 wonderful, sunlit days at FC nursery helping tiny little hands plant in our homemade recycled planting boxes. Each box consisted of various mystery seeds, which our tiny gardeners were eager to get home and water, to see just what the surprise seeds turn out to be! It was fun seeing the enjoyment of the families as they strolled through the green houses with their little red wagons, jamming out to the eclectic music provided by acoustic bands throughout the weekend, and running through the choke cherry trees.

In the slice of one weekend we were able to capture the light of the eyes of those who will one day, we hope, grab the enthusiasm of agriculture and continue to grow food throughout their lifetime.

Thanks again to our friends at Fort Collins Nursery, who helped us in celebrating a Labor-filled weekend of love!

Wonderful illustrated information. I thank you about that. No doubt it will be very useful for my future projects. Would like to see some other posts on the same subject!
