This feature is coordinated by The Post-Standard/Syracuse.com and InterFaith Works of CNY. Follow this theme and author posted Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday. I finally got that garden started, and as I began to dig the earth to plant the first plant, a big ol’ worm was there to greet me.

In the hustle and bustle of modern life, tending to a garden is a wonderful way to reconnect. It’s a reminder that growth and joy often come from the humblest beginnings.
