Dear Customer,
What are you most looking forward to in spring?
Dear friend,
Spring is my favorite season for many reasons. First, I see how everything comes alive around me. There is something about this symbolism that speaks of a new year and a new opportunity for growth.
Every spring I promise myself that I will plant a garden. I prepare by checking which bulb I will be planting. I carefully research the types of planters I buy, and every year my fear of the novice gardener gets the better of me and I end up not planting seeds. I do it religiously; It seems that for the ninth spring not a single garden has risen.
Even though my plans don't work out, I feel alive watching the trees bloom and the grass turn green. It makes me feel like I too can bring things to life the way nature does. I feel free and creative. I feel limitless.
Some people farm because they like to harvest, others because they like to feel the earth in their hands. There is a feeling of gratitude that one feels knowing that this is the soil from which everything grows.
Gardening is a reminder to me that my patience, love and tenderness will always pay off. With so much hate in the world, "gardening" this spring is what we all need to do.
Now, in good shape, I will soon be resuming my research this spring, whether it be wooden beds or beautiful beds from Australia, and while my search may go back to the back garden, I will definitely be doing one thing - planting seeds. . love and hope around me this spring. I hope you join me in this.
soul to soul
