Over and over I find myself wandering through the Bergenfield senior housing community gardens.  They still won’t let me help, not even pick one weed or drag them to the compost.

They tolerate my camera and are damn happy that I usually come at a time when the sun is getting too high to continue working so they can scatter practically as soon as I close my car door.

They don’t want their picture taken.

They allow me to roam around and capture the beauty of their toil and their ingenuity.

They allow me to photograph their tools, probably laughing to themselves, but never their hands holding them.

I’ll take what I can get…such is my love of this tiny little garden and its gardeners.  To see more of the garden click here.
