Edwards Nursery
Botanist meets horticulturist meets hoarder
It is one of the most messy and most beautiful places in Moses Lake.
I believe things can be re-used and re-purposed (to a fault). I sometimes need to just throw away or give away. But re-purposing, well, it is my middle name. I can relate to the goings on at Edwards Nursery!
Oren got a terrible bee sting while we were celebrating Merit's graduation Sunday. His ear was huge and red. I kept him home from school yesterday, the swelling and redness had not gone down. By mid afternoon he was feeling so much better!
Side note; Oren is one of the most gentle, thankful people one would ever meet.
I asked him if he wanted to go somewhere messy and beautiful! He said he did. We loaded up the bike and parked in town, after a short walk (for me) bike ride (for Oren) we visited Edwards Nursery. Oren was in awe.
We could not believe the climbing plants and vines!! The trees, the ferns, the trails of beauty!!
Someone working there said to a couple "oh my! You are still here?! You did not get lost did you??"
The couple said they had left for lunch and to discuss their purchases, they came back to buy some things.
The worker laughed and said "oh! I thought you were lost! I hoped you had left a trail of bread crumbs"
Oren asked me what that meant.
(Parent Fail, he had never heard the story of Hansel and Gretel)
So last night, Hazel and Oren's bedtime story was Hansel and Gretel. Oren listened in pure awe.
Today after school Hazel, Oren, and I went back to Edwards Nursery! We had to show Hazel this magical, messy, beautiful place!
It was so perfect.
And then tonight, via zoom, Hazel graduated from fifth grade! Onto middle school for our beautiful girl!!
