NATURE Poem: MY GARDEN, by Christina Lauderdale

It won’t make a difference
They said about my tiny garden
My pollinator garden
My few purple echinaceas
Some violet salvia
Pink penstemons
White and lavender columbines
Shaped like shooting stars
Showy milkweed for the monarchs
But now I find native bees
Great digger wasps
Jumping spiders and butterflies
Golden finches
And even a toad
Where before, only rocks lived
True, it is a small
But very beautiful difference
