Gardening

August 22, 2014 By Judith Eugene

There is nothing that takes away worries like burying your nose in a bouquet of flowers.  As we breathe in the aroma, it awakens our deep and primal connection with the earth.  It comforts us, and brings us into the present moment.  The bouquet represents the fruits of our labor that begins with an idea, and unfolds over weeks of preparation, planting, and waiting.  The mere act of digging in the dirt and making a physical connection with the earth also makes gardening one of the most basic and primitive of all activities. Unlike other art forms, garden design does not supply immediate results.  It is therefore a wonderful lesson in patience and surprise. Gardens are also living masterpieces, changing over time, and continually engaging our interest and creativity as a constant work-in-progress. And the fact that gardens depend on our attention and care to live well and thrive, gives us a feeling of importance, and gives us wonderful surprises to look forward to.
