 Character Study 1 Mary Parker

Clever Gardener who has a dark secret

 

Miss Mary Parker had the most beautiful garden in the village of Saint Thomas. She tended her flowers every day. She even talked to them. 

 

The neighbors were in awe. They could never understand how she could grow some of the flowers she grew. The soil wasnt that rich in their gardens. 

 

No one was aware but Miss Parker was actually Mrs. Parker. Mr. Parker disappeared years ago. Some say he ran off with another woman but only Miss Parker knew the truth. 

 

Buried under that award winning garden, Mr. Parker fertilized her garden as he rotted in his cold dark grave. 

 

As she stood straight and tall as the judges of the garden committee inspected her garden. After some deliberation they pinned the blue ribbon on her garden apron. 

 

She turned to her flowers and whispered. At least you were good for something you bloody git. She turned and waved to the neighbors as she pointed to her blue ribbon with a grin. 

 

A blue ribbon gardener never reveals her secrets
