Tess has visited her grandma many times without really being aware of her garden. But today when they step out the door, Tess learns that all of nature can be a garden. She discovers that if you take care of the plants that are growing and you learn about them — understanding when they flower, when they bear fruit, and when to leave them alone — you will always find something to nourish you. Tess is grateful to Mother Earth and to her grandmother for their teachings.
