TAR HEEL GARDNER
By John H. Harris.
Too many of our home and
church grounds are sad looking
sights. Instead of being an inspira
tion, some of them, I fear, are ac
tually depressing. Whether we
realize it or not, we all respond to
the environment around us. It
either gives us a lift, inspires us to
greater achievements, or it depress
es us and deadens our incentive to
obtain nobleness.
I like the way Prof. M. E. Gard
ner put it. He said: “Nothing adds
more dignity and contentment to
the art of living than attractive
surroundings. A well landscaped
1 although simple, is an out
expression of neighborliness
and confident living,”
The requirements for attractive
home or church grounds are
simple—as a matter of fact, simpli
city is the key. to beauty. Putting
it simply, what we need is a well
kept lawn; trees for shade and at
mosphere; convenient and well
maintained drives and walks;
shrubs and trees for screening off
unattractive views and a few to
go around the house; and most of
all, we need an appreciation of and
a desire for beauty.
