Description
Six grandchildren, six flowers. Every April, Papi Jean lines them up along the garden wall in descending order of height and hands each one the little spade in turn. They dig, they plant, they pat the soil down with grubby palms. The youngest always gets mud on her nose, and the oldest always pretends he is too grown-up for this, right until it is his turn to choose a color.
This box captures that springtime ritual with six painted flowers in a row and a tiny garden spade alongside. It is a unique keepsake for a shelf, mantel or windowsill, and a wonderful conversation piece in a sunroom. Offer it to a grandparent who gardens with the kids, a garden club member or a nature lover, or to a mother whose children have grown up as quickly as her blooms. Set near a sunny window, the bright painted petals look freshly planted every morning, and the little spade invites the question of who planted them.
