About this listen

Guest: Beverly Coons | Bob Moffitt speaks with Beverly Coons about how she was asked by a local elementary school to tend a garden to engage students. Coons gathered a few of her friends from the church, all of whom are over the age of 70, and got started. Coons says, "I work inside the church, but I work outside the church, too." She adds, "Find a way to be a servant." In partnering with a local elementary school, Coons says, "I'm being a servant, instead of going into the school to proselytize." Coons shares many precious stories of helping children grow in the garden, especially one special needs boy named Tommy.
