Elen’s Secret garden
The glory of gardening:
hands in the dirt,
head in the sun,
heart with nature.
To nurture a garden is to feed not just the body, but the soul.
I grow plants for many reasons:
to please my eye or to please my soul,
to challenge the elements or
to challenge my patience,
for novelty or for nostalgia,
but mostly for the joy in seeing them grow.
A garden requires patient labor and attention. Plants do not grow merely to satisfy ambitions or to fulfill good intentions.
They thrive because someone expended effort on them.
A garden is a grand teacher.
It teaches patience and careful watchfulness; it teaches industry and thrift;
above all it teaches entire trust.
