Growing Goodness
Dear ##firstname[Friend]##,
I bet you can’t wait to get your gardening gloves on and head outside to work in the soil. Neither can reader Marie Mallory, but it wasn’t always that way.

A teenaged Marie didn’t really want to spend a Saturday morning pulling weeds with her dad in his beloved garden. Now that she has her own children, Marie understands how precious those moments were and what her father was trying to teach her. Read all about her change of heart.

You’ll find more stories like Marie’s by subscribing to Country EXTRA.
—Robin Hoffman, Editor
