Firefly Garden Video
A heartwarming and inspiring video about firefly gardens (12 min) by my talented friends at Berries and Bushcraft. Our garden and I got to be special guests. :)
Did you know that fireflies indicate the health of the environment and that Embers of Hope partly gets her name from fireflies?
