REDBUDS RESPOND! Remarkable Redbuds enthusiastically supported the District’s 2006 special project—Shoebox Gardening. 52% of the District’s clubs collected 451 shoeboxes filled with gardening and nature-related items and then distributed these boxes to Families First, Samaritan’s Purse (Third-World countries), local hospitals, Elks Aidmore House (troubled and abused children), Harbor House (Christian Maternity home), Women’s Resource Center (women and children’s shelter), Georgia Center for Abused Children and other worthy organizations. Included in each gardening box was a children’s story book about gardening, which was designed by Redbud member El Connolly and published by Redbud. The idea of shoebox gardening “promoted gardening to youth in our own neighborhoods and around the world”.

"The winter blues will soon be gone. And birds will soon burst forth in song. The Coral Bells will gently ring. The Daphne yells "It's almost Spring!" (M. Garren)

Garden writing is often very tame, a real waste when you think how opinionated, inquisitive, irreverent and lascivious gardeners themselves tend to be. Nobody talks much about the muscular limbs, dark, swollen buds, strip-tease trees and unholy beauty that have made us all slaves of the Goddess Flora. Ketzel Levine's talkingplants.com

There is no gardening without humility. Nature is constantly sending even its oldest scholars to the bottom of the class for some egregious blunder. ~Alfred Austin
