Giff & Emmi Rescue the Garden

6/10/2022

 
Maine author, Jane Rogers Ducott, has just released a new book that takes its inspiration from the community garden at St. Nick's, and how the pandemic reminds us "we are stronger together and we are building community one garden at a time." 
Giff and Emmi are two rescued Treeing Walker Coonhounds, hired to rescue the Scarborough Community Garden. COVID disrupted the ongoing growth and maintenance of the garden. The two dogs hatch a plan to invite animal neighbors to assist in the reparations. Gus, the groundhog, Tom, Jake and Jenny Turkey and Bud and Essie Finch each have gardening skills necessary to revive the garden back to its bountiful state.

Through collaboration, cooperation and mutual respect for one another, the garden team begins the growing season on time and will share vegetables and herbs with struggling animal and human families throughout the summer. Projecting human qualities onto the animal gardeners offered an opportunity to teach kindness, compassion and that many hands make light work.
