They helped me plant flowers in front of the museum. My husband said they were the troublemakers in the room and they always acted out. Well, they were the most wonderful kids and workers I have ever had. Perhaps plants just do that to people.

Your post reminds me of an article I just read in Prevention. Here's a link to it:

It discusses the powerful healing effect gardening offers. The article features the woman who helped restore Claude Monet's beautiful gardens in Giverny, France.

What a great article. It is raining like mad down here today. Should be good for the garden.
