Stop Attack on Women, Moonlight Memoirs, The Potager Garden Thursday, May 5, 2011

As the world population approaches 7 billion this year voluntary access to contraception and reproductive health services should not be withheld from women who want and need them. Heather Brittany discusses the importance of Congress’s need to focus on developing a responsible spending plan for the country, not enacting an extreme social agenda that harms the poorest women and their children around the world. A child's growing awareness of the mortality of people and pets prompts a natural curiosity about what happens after death in the picture book MOONLIGHT MEMOIRS, young author Maggie Mei Lewis shares a comforting view of an afterlife where the living are loved and watched over by the people and animals who have left life before them. What is a potager? Americans are used to planting vegetable gardens, the English plant kitchen gardens, and the French have potagers. Since the Middle Ages, the French have been combining anything they want for decor or culinary delights in one garden plot. The Goddess Gardener, Cynthia Brian, takes you to the Renaissance Chateau of Villandry in France for a whirlwind potager planting.
