The Pinwheel Garden
Over the last couple of years, thanks to Betty Smokov, I have helped plant hundreds of flowers at the World’s Largest Sandhill Crane site. I now can tell a weed from a flower and get great delight in yanking them out of the ground.
But I have never had the chance to plant a pinwheel. However, on March 29th at 10:00 a.m. I plan to change that because Kidder County Social Worker, Jacey Hanson, will be planting a pinwheel garden during the 4-H SpringFest.
North Dakota has declared the month of April to be Child Abuse and Prevention month. Jacey plans to gather enough volunteers to plant one pinwheel for each child in Kidder County in the Veterans Memorial Park.
As we drive by those colorful pinwheels let’s remember to call Jacey and find out what we can do help prevent crimes against children. Her number is 475-2632.
