Gardening with Clients

Yesterday in the garden, clients enjoyed the warm and sunny weather as well as tilling the earth. We all weeded for nearly an hour, casting aside unwanted plantings and pesky weeds. We are readying the ground for next week's planting of seeds to grow a number of different herbs, flowers and a few vegetables.

Several clients took turns removing two large root-bound daylilies (which found new homes with staff members). They appeared to enjoy the labor involved in removing the plants, which they had deemed inconvenient to the layout they crafted for the garden.

All clients reported that they will return next week. This, despite the hard labor of weeding during the first class. At next week's class each client will choose a packet of seeds to plant and nurture throughout the summer.
