When I volunteered to provide transportation for my daughter's high school dance tour of elementary schools I had no idea that I would happen upon a beautiful garden. Borton Primary School already played a large part in our lives, both of my daughters attended the school and we remain friends with their kindergarten teacher and many of their classmates. I heard there was now a vegetable garden and chickens- but I didn't know it would be so inspiring, even in winter. I plan to get back at harvest time and take some more pictures but here are a few.

| A beautiful mural, installed with the help of the Ben's Bells Project . The chicken coop is on the far left. |

| Harvested gourds and mosaic garden art. |
 |
| Gourd vines climb a sculpture/fence of re-purposed bicycle parts. |
 |
| Late tomatoes on the vine. |
 |
| A terra cotta bird bath outside a portable classrom. |
 |
| The chore board. |
 |
| Beautiful work from small hands | . |
 |
| The farm stand where the vegetables are sold, farmer's market style, to local families. This garden is an excellent lesson in many ways for these very young kids! |
