Stories behind the story
What is your favorite thing about Badger's Perfect Garden?
I love how in the end Badger realized his garden didn't need to be perfect, afterall. The jumble-tumble garden Mother Nature had made with the seeds he planted was beautiful.
What would you say is the primary message of Badger's Perfect Garden?
Letting go. Surrender. Beautiful things may follow.
