Description

Ruth's Roots Blessing Box by Kathy K. McClellan is a photographic image created for Day 339 of the 365 Challenge (Journal 2022). This is a vertical image.

This photograph was taken in Bay Saint Louis, Mississippi (USA) at Ruth's Roots, a community garden.

The motto for the blessing box is, "Take what you need. Leave what you can." Some residents bring non-perishable food items and leave them in the cabinet so that others who may be less fortunate can come to the garden and pick up a few supplies.

The garden was named after the late Ruth Thompson and is located at the former location of Ruth's Cakery. The land was donated by Jim Thompson.

There is a chicken coop, butterfly house, rabbit enclosure, koi pond, stone chess board and more. Garden vegetables and herbs are planted in raised beds. Eggs are donated to a local non-profit cafe.

Recent additions include a free library and the blessing box.

The garden is open 24/7 and has been visited by people from all over the United States as well as several different countries.
