Consider sending your neighbors a message by what you plant in your yard next season! In the book, Floral Beauty on a Dead End Street, you will see the stunning floral landscaping of two African American gardeners in a suburban neighborhood of Pittsburgh. With the city’s torrential rains and bad snow storms who would have thought flowers could survive much less be so gorgeous! Nick and Erlene McGuire have worked in their yard for over 30 years planting a variety of flowers and vegetables. When asked why do they spend so much time in their yard (from sun up sometimes to sun down,) they both respond, “Because we love being out in the yard. It is good for us.”
I have made personal contributions to their book in the form of poetry. I decided to make the wonderful flowers that they spend so much time nurturing talk. If beauty like the flowers in this book could speak, "What would they say?" I often asked myself while putting Floral Beauty on a Dead End Street together for them. The results are in this book. I use inspirational words to paint a picture of what we look like to them. I provide wisdom as if God commanded the flowers to speak. I use the flowers to remind you of your purpose in life.
