Message from Bethany Langston

Good Morning MLGC,
I'd just like to say a quick word of thanks! I'm a youth services librarian running a fun children's gardening project for 7-13 year olds, and I thought you both might enjoy hearing that we were able to get some great use out of your club's gardening links lists this past month. We were even able to use some of this information for our most recent portion of the group project. Thanks so much for sharing!

One of our youngest, Amelia has also asked me if I could share a children's gardening guide that she and her mother found together with you all, which includes a wonderful breakdown of the tools, supplies and gardening techniques needed to prepare a flower garden with kids. I've listed it below if you'd like to review!

Initially I was a little hesitant to reach out, but I thought this could actually be such a fun gardening addition for any other young gardeners and their families, like Amelia and her mother!

If you find you are able to use this one in your list, would you please let me know? We meet tomorrow, and I would absolutely love to surprise Amelia if you're able - I think it would make her day to know she was able to 'pay it forward' (we're pretty big on this principle in our children's library group) and maybe even show her mother her contribution if you do choose to include it! mountainlaurelgardenclub.com/links--friends.html

Thanks so much,
Bethany Langston
