There’s ALWAYS room for a garden

Not everyone has dozens of Acre to great their life ’s garden masterpiece . In fact , a vast number of people claim to have no blank to garden at all . This garden leaven that if there ’s a will , there ’s a way . I go past this local strong drink store ( Achorn ’s Discount Liquor in New Milford , Connecticut ) a twosome times a hebdomad , and often stop in to pick something up . Every class I ’m amazed by the abundance of the marigold and zinnias that originate from the flyspeck crack between the parking lot and the building .

I ’ve always inquire if this was designed ( how could it not be ? ) , so the last time I went in to pluck up some hard cider , I asked the friendly gentlewoman behind the counter . Her face lit up . Falguni Patel and her husband Ashok sow seeds in this go every outpouring , and Falguni waters them every morning when she start the computer memory . According to Falguni , Ashok is the fleeceable thumb in the family , but I think it ’s an adequate effort . Whatever the cause , they say that heaps of people apprise and thank them for their lowly gardening efforts . Sooo … you say you have no room to garden ? conceive again … surely there ’s elbow room for a lowly marigold cum .
