Gardeners are ingenious people. After all, they take dirt, water and dried-up little seeds and turn them into crisp vegetables, juicy fruits and glorious flowers. Such ingenuity often extends beyond planting and maintenance. Just ask the Friends of Manton Street Park and Community Garden. When they needed some dirt, just like a certain famous pig, they got some help from a spider, with a donation of soil from the Arden Theatre Company’s production of Charlotte’s Web—after Wilbur no longer needed his pen.
