Earthly gifts.

 

 In spring 2010 Raphael Senzamici planted a garden. What he got in return was a gift. Along with

bushels of tomatoes, potatoes , carrots, cabbages and courgettes were all the weeds he never planned. 

 

There was the dirt field that became a community gathering spot. Nightly watering that became a family affair. Harvesting that was always a surprise. And meals that were just more meaningful. 

Something as simple as a tomato became sublime.

 

What started as a garden had grown into an earthly gift.
