Half a Mile of Daffodils Blooming at Nicholas Arboretum

With the help of more than 150 volunteers from the community, Michigan artist Susan Skarsgard created an art installation of 20,000 daffodils that, while in bloom, helped visitors reflect on the borders that separate and lines that connect in the world.

The Giving Garden

Justin and I are community Gardening with "The Giving Garden" and Eastern Michigan University this year.  These lovely ladies wrote a Grant and received funding to start their garden on campus.  For $20 we get to have our own 8x10 foot plot and  they are even letting me have extra space for growing flowers!! So I went online and picked some out this morning from Seed Savers.  Can you believe they even buy the seeds and supply compost and everything? It is an awesome group of gardeners too lots of Kindred Spirits.
