Focused on Mississippi: Hot Summer at Welty Garden
SUMMARY: Writer Eudora Welty spent much of her time in her backyard, where she and her mother created and maintained flower gardens. Despite a challenging year with extreme weather conditions, the gardens at the Eudora Welty House and Garden in Mississippi still look great. The garden project specialist, Lauren and Claret, ensures that the garden stays alive by closely monitoring irrigation and using compost to provide extra nutrition. The dedicated volunteers who help with weeding and mulching also play a significant role in maintaining the yard. Gardening, similar to writing stories, taught Welty about grief, survival, and the satisfaction of physical exhaustion.
