Once its joys have been discovered, it usually becomes a lifelong commitment. More people these days are turning to gardens as a source of inner peace and to achieve a sense of fulfilment. The seasons mean more than a change in weather when we become actively involved with the cycles of death and rebirth. In contrast to the abstract type of work that is typical in this -information age, the results of garden labour are especially rewarding because they are tangible. Fresh air, sunshine and growing things contribute to our good health.
Gardening engages all of our senses as well as our minds and imagination.
A garden allows us to nurture, to create beauty and to contemplate life. These all contribute to spiritual satisfaction.
