FERRIS PUBLIC LIBRARY: More than Books (May 9, 2024)
Spring is a time of renewal, a season that promises growth and life, and many agree that there’s no better way to experience this than by getting your hands dirty in the garden.
Take time to observe the changes happening in the garden, listen to the sounds of birds chirping and bees buzzing, and feel the warmth of the sun on your skin.
Nurturing nature’s wonders not only benefits the garden but also nourishes your soul and brings a sense of joy and fulfillment.
