It
is
just
a
thrill
to
be
with
you
all
here
this
evening
to
celebrate
your
amazing
work,
whether
it
is
a
window
garden,
whether
it
is
a
garden
that
is
recognized
through
our
age,
strong
participants,
whether
it
is
a
vegetable
garden,
a
large
garden,
a
small
garden.
All
that
you
do
adds
so
much
vibrancy
to
our
city,
so
much
beauty
to
our
city
to
celebrate.

Those
folks
who
spend
the
time
to
connect
with
the
soil,
to
love
the
natural
places
in
our
city
and
to
cultivate
them
so
that
everyone
around
can
appreciate
and
enjoy
them,
there's
something
powerful
about
putting
your
hands
in
the
soil
and
about
seeing
things
grow
about
cultivating
and
connecting
with
them.
I
have
seen
it
in
my
own
life,
and
I
know
so
many
of
you
know
exactly
what
I'm
talking
about.
