Why I Garden

My garden serves so many purposes, and it seems that each year I discover new ways that it nurtures me. I’m learning that gardening is an act of worship that brings me closer to my Creator. I love everything about it. I love planting a seed, watering it and then waiting expectantly for signs of life and growth.

I love watching the plants grow and get bigger every day. I love seeing the flowers develop blooms that open and then display their beauty. 

I love snipping fresh herbs to add to meals and popping fresh strawberries and raspberries into my mouth. I love going to the backyard to gather vegetables for dinner or lettuce for a salad. 

I love finding frogs, ladybugs, praying mantis and other creatures within the plants and flowers of my garden. I love watching the hummingbirds visit the flowers.

And I love sharing my garden with anyone who comes to visit, so if you are in my neighborhood, please stop by.
