An excerpt from:Every Garden Needs A Heart By R.E. Bertlow

Sara and Sally were twin sister who quite often got board with things they would do.

First it was bubbles that they blew. Sally would say I’m board then Sara would say me too.

Then it was bouncing a ball back and forth it lasted for a while it’s true but then Sara said I’m board and Sally followed with Me too.

Their poor mother didn’t know what to do.

She gave them Jacks which lasted a while as well but soon their interest in jacks fell.

Roller skates lasted a day and dolls half of that.


Soon they had tried just about everything a child of four could try.
One day their mother had an Idea. She would teach them how to grow things. They could plant some seeds and each day they could water them and when the plants got big enough they could plant them in the ground.



She gathered up Sara and Sally got them in the car and they went to the Nursery where they bought gardening hats, gloves, trowels, dirt, pots and, seeds.

She to each of the girls to pick out the seeds they would like to plant. Sara picked Poppy’s and Sally picked Pansy’s as they took all there Items to the counter There, they noticed a sign.

Sally asked her mother what the sign said. Mother read the sign to the girls. It said,


Every garden needs a heart, not one that goes Kathump, Kathump. Or one that beat’s ten times a minute.

Just a rock or a shell or a piece of driftwood or Metal or Sea glass with a basic heart shape will do.

It can be brown, black, green, yellow, orange, purple, red, white, or blue.

But every garden needs a heart weather it is a garden stake heart standing tall above your flowers that says “Welcome to my Garden” or a piece of driftwood that sits between your vegetable nestled in the dirt doesn’t mater at all .

A garden with a heart will grow all the seeds that you sew with love and tender care.
