Parsons helps a garden grow June 27, 2008

Us Parsons gals are green through-and-through, so naturally we put our green thumbs to work at the Children’s Home Society yesterday afternoon.  Parsons and friends did a major spring clean-up in one of the gardens at CHS back in 2006, which is growing in nicely with a beautiful trellis.  This time it was just some of the Parsons gals (Joanie, Pam, Kathleen, Laura, Sarah, Emily and me) and our mission – which we gladly chose to accept – was do some major weeding, make-shift tilling and planting in another area of the CHS grounds.  We pulled out ivy and grass, cut back some overgrown trees, tilled the soil with shovels and hoes – and the help of some very eager-to-dig boys, as well as did some planting.  We are excited to see how everything grows in!

Below are some snapshots taken during our GoodWorks outing.  The boys were so fun to talk to and were a huge help in prepping the dirt to plant – a broken arm and all :)
