"Victory Gardens
exuberant still in autumn sun . . .
thank you to the makers
May we all touch our creative energy and open to the joy of letting it flow."
She stands nestled in the trunk of a Dawn Redwood (Metasequoia Glyptost Obides) that according to a small plaque was planted in 1987 in friendship and loving memory of Gerald A. Flynn (1939-1986) by his friends M. Jeff Zirpolo, Mark Davol, and Richard Orarco.
A passerby told me that Gerald had a huge vegetable garden here, at the edge of the water, and that he donated vegetables to Meals-on-Wheels and the program that provided meals to those ill with HIV/AIDS.
The Victory Gardens has always been a favorite spot for me. Walking through it today took me back to when I walked its narrow paths ripe with child, soaking in the sun and nourished by the visual richness of this patchwork of gardens. I couldn't resist taking lots more photos of the gardens.
