Planting Time: a free large-print word search
Planting Time, a free, large-print word search for the season when soil, seed, and patience come together in the garden.
About Planting Time
A particular kind of optimism goes into pressing a seed into dark, damp soil and firming it down with your thumb. The gardener's year turns on these small acts, a bulb tucked in before the frost, a seedling coaxed under glass, a first row of peas marked with a length of twine. Each one is a quiet promise between the gardener and the ground.
