My Dad loves to garden. Growing up we always had a vegetable garden every year, and for the past 10 years he's been unable to grow one in AK. He's retiring and moving back to a garden-friendly climate and looking forward to having a garden again. I'm still a beginner, but had so much fun making this cake for his retirement party. Thanks to all those on the site who have made garden cakes. I definitely referred to them for help.
