Tilling the gardens of health
Life: The garden at Sharpe Health, a school for children with
disabilities in Northwest, is gorgeous, but it wasn't designed merely
to please the eye. It's a healing garden that helps children improve
their motor skills, instructs them in basic gardening and even teaches
them the alphabet.

How do you figure this garden is available to children in the NORTHWEST. The
Washington Times is published in Washington D.C. NOT Washington STATE,
Sharpe Health School is a public school in the DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. That
would be one hellofa field trip.......bring a sack lunch!
