Humorous Wedding Speech: Why She Happened In The Garden

846 Words4 Pages

Good morning Tara,

I wish I was writing under better circumstances but as a fourth year returning gardener to Sam Yanni, I am actually shocked and dismayed by what my Mother and Father reported occurred in the garden yesterday and to be frank what I see going on in the garden this season. I own a plot under Tabetha Wilson and my own address, as does my mother Daphne Wilson under HER OWN address. My Father was my original co-gardener in the back near John Parsons and we moved to the left no-till side with my three years ago. My mother then acquired the other half of our plot but my Father remained our mutual assistant. You may have noticed we spend extensive time and the garden and are quite vigilant when it comes to removing weeds, keeping …show more content…

My original understanding of the rules was if it was disclosed to Capital Roots that you would have help from your family and as long as they came and went with you they were fine to be present in the garden. Which has always been the case.

Despite this, there is CONSISTENT confusion as to who's plot belongs to who each year I have returned and it seems to be an issue with TURNOVER and lot ABANDONMENT. But of course, we will experience these things if veteran, loyal, organized, and polite gardeners are chased away by bad experiences. If there is an overwhelming sense they are being pushed aside for incoming gardeners and displaced and will not be treated fairly during misunderstandings. There has been year after year suggestion to NUMBER the plots to avoid this confusion but there has yet to be any innovation in this …show more content…

Martinez's plot that she was DISPLACED to after someone failed to realize her plot was still being worked (up until May) and already paid for. She had to be moved from our left side to our right side, to ease her pain of having to transition MY FAMILY (my mother, father and myself) helped dig up that plot and get it ready for her considering she lost a year worth of work. This was a gesture of kindness and an attempt to make right of a situation we did not create. This volunteer "garden manager" was in an uproar about this abandoned plot she was forced to take and he was questioning my parents (when there is a chart which identifies whom it belongs to), he went on to state people "call him" about the lots and what belongs to who - however, don't take a position you are going to complain about. If you don't have the demeanor, manners, mindset, temperament you should not take a customer service, public facing position because he was VERY rude and has been VERY rude and to be frank should not being doing the job.

This man who spoke to my father this was has some obsession with Ms. Martinez plot, well he is welcome to speak to Capital Roots not gardeners. I go to the garden with the sole intention to escape the harassment and haranguing I am subjected to on a daily basis, not to be insulted and alienated in a plot we all pay for. We all have our implicit biases but it is our responsibility to look past them and work on

In a simile, she compares gardening to “boxing… The wins versus the losses” (Hudes 16). Through this comparison, Hudes conveys Ginny’s deep desire for a sense of control and success in her life. This desire is fed by the memory of her father, who was only bearable when he was gardening. Specifically, the assertion of this desire for control is evident as she recalls that her father “was a mean bastard…” but “became a saint if you put a flower in his hand” (Hudes 15). From those experiences of dealing with her father, a psychological analogy between nature and peace was instilled in Ginny’s mind at a young age, and is what she relies on as an adult to handle her emotional trauma.

Within the class WGSY1Y, there is much talk about femininity, aboriginal status and the sex/gender binary. In writing this assignment; I hope to explain, in depth, what the binary is as a whole, as well as touch upon the more complicated aspects of gender. The sex/gender binary is essentially meant to explain our boundaries. We, as humans, have created two categories that we are socialized into at birth.

A tastefully designed yard can add cosmetic appeal to a house and, in turn, increase the overall value of one’s home. Besides adding monetary value, a garden can help one sell their house faster than the average homeowner. Gardening also realigns one with the origins of their food.
