Even if you don't find one — we hope you have time to step outside today in nature and, like Eliot, search for a four leaf clover. Depending on where you are, you just might spot one! If you are in DC, you can look in Wangari Gardens, where this journal entry was captured.

At Strength to Love II Urban Farm, all the plants, including ornamental flowers, fruit trees, blueberry shrubs, and perennials, can also be harvested and sold at the farm stand. Everything in the park, from the plants to the pathways, requires minimal maintenance.

This Sacred Place, once a derelict parking lot, is now the perfect spot to contemplate a vibrant garden. You can find it at @thevlp – an independent, nonprofit library offering free access to community programs and 20,000 books.
