 This week we went with Elder and Sister Richardson, the Deseret International Charities couple here, to see one of the garden projects here in Ulaanbaatar.  These garden projects are where the Church teaches about gardening to the members interested and then supplies them with seeds and other things to garden with.  This project was on about 5 acres and is worked by 12 families.  It was a beautiful garden.

 This is a well for irrigating the garden.  There is one at each end of the garden area.  The pumps are some of the things the Church supplies.  The wells are about six meters deep.
 They also have an area where they do box gardening.  It was also quite a large and nice garden.
 They use these glass windows as greenhouse tops on the box gardens.
 This is the sister that showed us around the large garden project.  This is her yard and the greenhouse the Church supplied to her for her own project.  Most projects are private ones in their own yards.  As you can see, her garden is doing well.

 These are two of her four "root cellars" that she has dug in her backyard for storing her vegetables she grows.  They are three meters deep and then go in for one meter.  She has one for potatoes, one for carrots, one for onions, and one for another vegetable.  She is a remarkable lady!

These are two more beautiful little wild flowers we saw growing around the garden project.
