Love Connection #2


There's been an overwhelming outpouring of love and hugs around the story about the meet-up between my sister Reenie and Jan Bills of Two Women and a Hoe. Jan is the woman behind the construction of a pallet garden for my friend Trudy.
The Love Connection story was initiated well before where my reporting took up. Have a look the pre-quel, which was filmed and produced by Urban Dirt.

You can see just how Trudy's  block wall pallet garden transformed a huge, bare expanse into something wonderful to behold and brought a immeasurable joy to Trudy and to all of us who love her.
