Comment from Miss Sherry
How sweet and comforting this poem is. To be of value to a grandparent and to be made to feel useful and proud is a legacy that will live on and give the girls memories for a lifetime. Your sweet artwork matches so perfectly. This is a very lovely poem.

The meter and rhymes were so in tune I literally toe-tapped as I read your account of Grandmother's Garden! A sweet memory of word paintings in Monet water color pastels that made my heart a little lighter as I reflected back on my own quiet treasure of memories with my Memere'!--Karenina

Oh this is wonderful! What a blessing for grandchildren to help their grandmother and the transfer of love for gardening as well as grandmotherly wisdom and love in the process.
Wish I could manage to get my grand kids to work with me. They much rather play. Lol.

You and your friend were kind and generous to help your old grandma maintain the beauty of her garden. Your memories of those days make for a strong entry to the "Child's Time With a Grandparent" contest.
Good luck!

Comment from Sandra Elizabeth Williams
Beautiful memories shared with loved ones in the garden. My father used to make me and my sisters weed the garden...we had two...and water the plants. Its the one thing that he made us do that I enjoyed then and now.
The rhymes are good and the verses flow well.
Best wishes in the contest.

Comment from Ross E Silke
Very nice images you're described in this carefully constructed poem. It reads well you take us on a very scenic journey through Grandma's garden. It a very bright and sunny read with lots of floral details that make it enchanting and delightful. Well presented too with the colours, fonts, and image selected. The rhyme scheme is very well done too following a strict pattern and your rhyming words are chosen carefully and sound it nicely. Excellent.

A very well-written poem and the joy of grandma's garden all year long and she was never afraid to give her grandkids little tasks in her garden that make them feel part of the creation of her garden.

Grandma was never a tyrant, but knew children WOULD work if given prescribed tasks and supervised with loving patience. Many thanks for sharing, Sandra.
