"To see things in a seed, that is genius" ~Lao-tzu

When I was in town last week someone told me this story:

"A farmer was sitting in Country Coffee watching a woman working in her plot across the parking lot at the Community Garden. She was watering her plants and he got so frustrated with her technique that he put down his coffee, went over to garden, grabbed a water bottle, poked holes in the bottom and showed her how to water the plants without washing them, or the dirt, away."

I LOVE this story because it is the epitome of why Community Gardens work - these are 2 people who would never have otherwise had any interaction and yet they had a moment, how cool is that.

Chris and I still get soosebumps when we look over this beautiful place and realize what we have made from a conversation in a parking lot last year.

Waterford Community Garden, truly "a place to grow together"
