Gardener A feels “gardening should be about personal satisfaction - mentally and physically - and a hobby, not a job to impress others.” Her gardens are not “well-groomed, manicured, symmetrical gardens but instead country gardens that are allowed to ‘naturalize’ as Mother Nature designs.”
Gardener B’s favourite seasons are “spring (winter is over), summer (no snow), fall (not hot, not cold, trees are pretty and require no weeding) and winter (no black flies or mosquitoes).”
Gardener C’s best gardening tip: “Never pay full price!”
Gardener D grows vegetables using a variety of organic methods including hugelkulture, season extension and companion planting.
Gardener E likes to relax in the garden, commune with his maker, and marvel at the colours and smells.
Gardener F likes “designing, creating, re-purposing and incorporating various objects into the garden. Each of these elements collectively contributes and enhances each other in the garden, hopefully creating a visual tapestry that stimulates the senses as well as enlightens the soul.”
Gardener G considers gardening her form of meditation. When she is in the garden, “the world disappears” but she is more present.
Advice From A Garden
Cultivate Lasting Friendships,
Sow Seeds of Kindness,
Listen to Sage Advice,
Don't Let Things Bug You,
