The Garden on the Corner

Book excerpt: The Garden on the Corner is an uplifting rythmic tale about experiencing the Henington House Gardens through the eyes of a child. For over 120 years, generations have visited the Henington House Gardens as three different Little Garden Ladies have prayed over and nurtured this very special Hattiesburg, Mississippi, property on the corner of Walnut Street and Rebecca Avenue. Madie Lewis Henington, her daughter Madie Henington Johnson, and now Catherine Hansen Strange have all welcomed vistors to enjoy, not a polished and formal space, but a warm, working garden full of projects, plants, and blooms which they all shared. Just as the many children and adults alike who have been a part of the Joy-Full Spirit of God & Garden here at the Henington House, we invite you and your children to join us inside these pages for a bit of what it's like to learn, live, & laugh in this special, magical place.
