Pansies

The petals of a pansy flower are edible! They supply antioxidants. People use them in salads or for decorating a cake. Deer munch on them just a they are.

Pansies were originally brought over from Europe as a garden flower but now grow wild as well.

They are in the Violet family and come in many colors and patterns including stripes and tri-color!

All Our Children

You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you.

What you do makes a difference and you have to decide what kind of a difference you want to make.
