What is most impressive about the new sidewalk garden installation is that I was merely the brawn behind it and Madison was the brain. She was helping me clear the annual weed build up one day and made a few suggestions that were solid and logical. She even showed me where things could go. Then she drew the plan for the flower bed and I built the box for the veggies. After planting poppies and cosmos around the tree, we mixed fresh dirt in and viola! She chose sweet peas; collards; beets; and carrots to plant. Then I constructed the signs and Madison designed and painted them. They look great. Though I turned them around for the picture, they are actually facing the other direction so Madison and her mother can see them from their window. It is a very cheery sight and it was so much fun to do. Now I must take a moment to fawn over little miss Madison because she was so helpful, smart, and she listened very well. Thank you Madison!

I look forward to working with Madison to keep the garden growing.
