We asked Folks to park on the Gravel Road to lessen the impact of Cars on the Land. I have to chuckle at this one. Amazingly, it seems one of the few times that Cars have not taken precedent in our world. That's something to ponder: the impact of Cars on the Earth. Cars must have seemed like such a good idea in the beginning, but look where they have gotten us now.
For the Garden Tour, we took extra precautions with the heat. If Folks needed to, they could drive to the House. None did. I think just about everyone was wearing a Hat. We had water on hand and sat in the shade for starters. We advised Folks to take good care of themselves. And we all did.
I just love the possibilities of an extended family of Gardeners to share questions and learnings. That means we can learn and grow from each other. That's huge.
Gardening is getting big in our world. We Humans are slowing things down and bringing back that "can-do" spirit. Yes, the learning curve is steep. We are getting our hands in the Soil. We are learning the elementals of what it takes to support Life. In that, I find hope for our times.
