This emerald shimmer is shining in honor, celebration, and support of The Last Green Valley!
Since I was born, I have been a fan of the land, spending my earliest years with my Poppa Moone, in the garden, covered from head to toe in good old fashioned Davisville, RI soil.
130 acres of Christmas trees in Hope, RI took up another 25 years of my spare time as I aged onwards. Weekends, holidays, vacations were spent with my "Farm Family" doing just what I loved - getting dirty outside, and making things grow. I especially miss trimming the trees, clipping the day away, and fertilizing the trees by carrying my bucket of fert and feeding each tree with a handful as if I were feeding some hungry chickens!
I've been lucky enough to own 5 homes, and although I've loved each of them, I was never attached to the structure as much as I was attached to each yard and the gardens that I established.
The "Renegade Garden" is my current project here in Putnamania, on the hill that slopes ever so steeply down to the Little River behind my condo.
My brother and sister nicknamed me "Digger", and still call me that to this day, as I love to dig! Plain and simple!
So of course, my home in Putnam, situated in The Last Green Valley, suits me perfectly.
What is The Last Green Valley?
The Last Green Valley is two things - it's the 35-town National Heritage Corridor where you live, and it's also your member-supported non-profit organization working locally to preserve the irreplaceable land, water, and cultural resources of the region.
Their slogan: The Last Green Valley – It’s Where You Live!
It IS where I live!!! Thank goodness - it fits me perfectly!
I am a Putnamaniac because I am aglow with green to support where I live, The Last Green Valley!
