The community changed because people came together because of the plants around us. There is an old song lyric I like to refer to when I am down, as it helps immensely.  "Music is a lot like love, it's all a feeling And it fills the room from the floor to the ceiling I see miracles all around me Stop and look around, it's all astounding  Water, fire, air and dirt Freaking magnets, how do they work?" This helps out when I am down, and hopefully helps you, in the same way the garden helped florence view the youth

Her Grandma's sampler, as you said, contradicts what she is doing right now, as it says "Be not solitary, be not idle." This again, as you said, relates to the Winter, as many people relate the snow to a cold, dark feeling, and that is why people like to gather with family indoors by a fireplace at say Christmas, to fend off this feeling. This is why she wanted to see the "seed folks" out there, for it gave her a sense of warmth and friendliness.
