At an elementary school in Santa Fe, the bell rings for recess and kids fly out the door to check what’s happening in their garden. As the seasons turn, everyone has a part to play in making the garden flourish. From choosing and planting seeds within the spring to releasing butterflies in the summertime to harvesting within the fall to protecting the beds for the winter. Even the wiggling worms have a job to do within the compost pile! On special afternoons and weekends, neighborhood folks gather to lend a hand out and savor the bounty (fresh toppings for homemade pizza, any person?). Part celebration, part simple how-to, this close-up take a look at a vibrant garden and its enthusiastic gardeners is blooming with photos so that they can have readers in a position to roll up their sleeves and dig in.
