This episode starts with an update on Ellie's Living Christmas Tree and the arrival of a new rescue adopted from a kindhearted shelter featured in the story of Father John's Animal House Garden.

Did you know 20-20 Vision not perfect vision? I share lessons of recovery inspired by Comfort Zone Camp's founder Lynne Hughes and the hope of Better than Twenty-Twenty vision for a bright future ahead in this garden of life.

In thinking about the next season of growth, I share the story of frolicking foxes in front of her future vegetable garden and the lessons of a fox featured in the classic tale The Little Prince. We chat about how to keep the mischievous yet beneficial furry friend from eating your veggies. You'll giggle over an overnight visit of two young fox one winter's night—here's the link to related column Foxes in the garden.

Ep 25. Baobab Tree of Life, Growing Kindness

Thank you for being part of spreading the word about how gardens and nature can heal and grow our lives.

This episode starts with The Little Prince's view that it's critical to rid the little planets he visits of all the bad seeds that turn into bad plants. Specifically, the Baobab—ironically, an ancient tree adored here on earth—leading to a lesson of clearing resentments and growing in kindness (before it destroys our world.)

Then there are highlights of a Woody Plant Conference hosted by the PA Horticultural Society, including a report of Baobabs' decline in Africa known as the Tree of Life. Plus a tidbit about Wakehurst's Millennium Seed Bank initiatives and a Plant Exploration with a Purpose. https://askmarystone.com/baobab-tree-of-life/

The episode wraps up with a heartfelt story of three young philanthropists taking it upon themselves to help Rivers Edge Horse Rescue and Sanctuary, showing us that something little can grow into something big. https://askmarystone.com/helping-rivers-edge-horse-rescue/
