Chickens of the 5th Street Community Garden and the Rat Wars (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798248790951)

Gardening is planning plus hard work and luck and, then, more hard work. "Where is some help?" the gardener asks. In this fable, help comes from three chickens who transform an abandoned plot into a garden. You will chuckle at the struggles and personalities of Bossy, Flor, and Gallo as they take over Lorie's garden plot when she hurts her knee. They banter and bicker their way through the planning, planting, and weeding of this small community garden plot.

Then disaster strikes. The summer of 2024 becomes the summer of the rat wars. Will the rats eat everything? What lessons are learned from the struggle with the rats? Does the garden survive?
