 | The Garden Mural In The Green Garden are wondrous delights,
to tempt you and feed you a beautiful sight.
Pumpkins, Oranges, Onions and Beets,
a valley of Mushrooms. All tasty and sweet.
In cosy dark burrows the bunnies roam free,
look closely and count them, how many do you see?
Carrots, tomatoes, Apples, Pears and Strawberries,
all flourish together without any worries.
So enjoy this new garden grown from the heart,
by creative people from your local Art Start.
