Gardens for Children
The Plot Is Yours
A small ground, and no guilt in it
William Vincent Carleton
A plot is a piece of ground someone has agreed you may learn on: a bed, a pot, a corner by a step. Ada kneels and puts both hands in, and no one takes them away to do it better. Dee the chickadee watches from the fence. The first Gardens for Children book gives children real ground, real work and permission to let the season teach their mistakes.
