Once upon a time I met a gnome. This gnome, despite his fame and influence was kind and humble.
He taught children and grown-ups how to nurture and care for the environment. He was friends with the worms and the bees, and showed the children how to make nice homes for them.
The gnome showed them what plants liked to eat and how to feed them so they could grow and bloom and this made the children smile.
The children planted native bushes and garlic and felt the cool of the soil as they dug little holes for each one.
The gnome watched happily as the children made a mountain of compost and as they built he climbed to the top like a red-capped king!
The children cheered and laughed as he watered the compost tower and they danced and sang in the fallen leaves.
Thank you Gnome Costa!
