The Pleasure Of The Harvest

To the Editor:

 As the last of the fall onions from Newtown Youth Services’ Children’s Garden are harvested, I would like to thank the many donors who made the children’s garden possible. Two local businesses in particular, Lexington Gardens and Planter’s Choice, generously donated plants, seeds, and helpful expert horticultural advice.

I would also like to thank Mr Samuel Nezvesky who kindly offered the use of his land for the children’s garden. When others would rather relegate the children to an inaccessible traffic island or the insignificant limits of a whiskey barrel, Mr Nezvesky’s land provided an invaluable experience that will never be forgotten by the children who learned the pleasure of gardening.

Sincerely, _Jonathan N. Aragones
