Marigold (Mari) is the curious seven-year-old at the center of the garden: medium-brown curls, blue denim overalls with a few small paint dabs, forever trying something new.
Grown-up Mari is the voice telling these stories, looking back warmly on her childhood beneath the willow. When you hear a Cottage Creek Garden read-along, you're hearing Mari remember.
