DASHER – It takes patience to plant and cultivate a garden and to wait for carefully sown seeds to sprout and grow. 

The Bible teaches in Galatians 6 “… for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.” 

Long before the warm spring days appeared, Lisa Hale’s first-graders were turning the soil and preparing a garden at Georgia Christian School, planting the seeds that would take root, tenderly shoot, and eventually, mature into produce they could take home and share with their families, according to school officials. 

Recently, they weeded the garden and took home the first fruits of their harvest, fresh radishes.

“It is always with such pride that these students care for their garden each year, and they are always excited to see what will sprout or ripen next,” according to school officials.
