Subbotnik: The Garden Gets Spruced Up!
The Datscha garden never looked as good as this before: The lawn edges aligned to central perspective (baroque!), the wintergarden orderly, the plots free from weeds with crumbly earth, the gutters functional again… and the rose rejoices and looks up at the clear evening sky.
“subbotnik”
- Subbotnik (from Russian: [sʊˈbotə] for Saturday) were days of volunteer unpaid work on weekends following the October Revolution.
- My indestructable thanks go to Gero, Helen, Mathias, Tiger und Tina!!!!!! You are so great!
Your Datscha garden lady.
