While we’re stuck inside our homes and places of employment because of the bitter wind and snow outside, pick up the gardening edition of Views &Voices to blow the winter chill away.

Meet a New Wilmington couple who found that growing plants has also created growing friendships and helped them grow together as well, and get acquainted with Myrna Scales of Sugar Grove Township who traded an office cubicle for a greenhouse. You can also try recipes with an herbal infusion from Master Gardener Deborah Plant of Jackson Township.

Inner growth is emphasized as we learn about creating mandalas from Jill Zikmund and Sister Margaret J. Marszal. Interesting and educational could equally describe visits with the Herb Thymers and to historical Lancaster City and The Garden Cafe of Youngstown.

Plus everything’s coming up roses with our spring fashions from Macy’s, Kaspar and Hartstrings.

Look inside the covers of the March edition of Views & Voices and you'll feel sure that spring is just around the corner.
