This day was perfect. Cloud cover and cool breezes that followed an evening of rain. Some new faces which meant new partners. Kevin noticed how much the plants had grown since the last time he’d visited. Dustin was able to deadhead flowers the entire time. Jason and Ben hauled compost and mulch all over the garden. Tiffany worked with Mia to deliver mulch to specific walkways. Gonzalo weeded the pathways of itty bitty weeds. Jeff deadheaded lavender and thyme.

There were smiles and laughter the entire time we were together. Looking back on it, I realized that many times I’m too busy making sure everyone has a task with the tools and direction. This day, I was able to watch joy emanate from each of the PopUp people.
