My Grammy's Garden

My Grammy was a big part of my inspiration for Girasole Farm.

These old black and white photos are from her garden in the 1930's.

 I can't see all the details of what she was growing. Flowers & vegetables for sure.

We shared a very special bond together.

Grammy said "Busy hands are never in want".  Her hands were always busy tending to the vegetable & flower gardens.

When Grammy wasn't gardening she was cooking, painting, quilting, knitting or doing whatever had to be tended to. She lived a simple life, finding contentment and pleasure in the keeping of her home and family.

I am so grateful that she passed such valued traditions onto me. 

 Many, many times I have wished my Grammy was still alive today so that I could spend some more precious time with her.
