Gardening is rewarding and healing in so many ways. From planting seeds, feeling the anticipation and excitement of having them germinate and sprout, to watching your magnificent flowers burst in full bloom. 

Time spent in the garden is a gentle escape from the hustle and bustle of life. Allowing you to slow down to "smell the roses", and appreciate the cycle of life. 

No special skills are required, just a willingness to learn and grow with your garden.

To get started: 

1. Find or purchase seeds that will do well in your soil, light, and planting zone conditions.
2. Sow your seeds according to instructions
3. Water as needed 
4. Marvel as they sprout and grow. 

If you want an instant garden, you can always purchase potted plants at your local garden center, water them as needed, and watch your garden grow.

The garden is a great metaphor for life, reflecting on what needs to stay, what needs to be changed, what needs to go, and what parts need extra nurturing. Gardening is a great hobby that can help you navigate life with more ease and satisfaction.
