Baltimore, MD - Sundra Trent takes a lot comfort these days in her garden.

When she moved here 14 years ago with her two sons she never intended to do a lot of yard work.

But her 11 year old Anthony urged her to plant flowers, and one plant grew into a yard full of flowers, chotzkies and wind chimes.

She says the garden is going to sleep now...including Anthony's favorite flower.

Anthony Trent changed her name to Tyra.
