I couldn’t agree more with many of the things you’ve written in this lovely post. I’ve been gardening for about five decades now, and I would also say that gardening connects one to the true life force coming from our planet earth. And research shows that just being in a garden and surrounded by plants will lower your blood level of cortisol. You can’t fool your body, it knows when you’re giving it something really good, like an afternoon in your luscious garden!
When I first started gardening, it was more about food for humans, but over the decades I’ve grown more and more different kinds of native plants that provide so much more than food. They provide habitat and food for fauna that support the web of life.
Time in nature truly does heal your physical, emotional, and spiritual body. I can thank my garden for not only providing me food, but a supportive environment to help me learn and grow every day of my life. Just yesterday, I got to watch a purple Martin splash with wild abandon in the water from one of my fountains. Pure joy! Give me the simple life.
