Memorial Day – Remembering the Minnesota Vets Home Garden & Gardener

Standard

Paved Paradise three

PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT – VETERANS HOME HASTINGS, MINNESOTA
& Vet Gardner Gordy Schmidt (Deceased)


The Garden is gone and we are humming the Old Joni Mitchel Song:

“They took all the trees
And put them in a tree museum
And they charged all the people
A dollar and a half to see ’em
Don’t it always seem to go
That you don’t know what you’ve got
‘Till it’s gone
They paved paradise
And they put up a parking lot”
