My Grandmother Carries A Machete

Grandmother has a garden—cool, leafy, green, lush… and probably about to take over the world, at this rate. Jenny watches in awe, year after year, as Grandmother keeps nature at bay, taming it with her touch—and her machete. 

This year, though, something changes.

If you love stories of courage and discovery that remind us of the wild frontiers of nature, don’t miss My Grandmother Carries A Machete.
