Gardens, above, templated since BCE. Long before. Tapping into the templates quite a simple recipe. Exposed for years, here. Nothing difficult, merely a choice to see.

A thread amongst those who have figured out how to have a garden, above.

A competitive tennis player from ages 11-17, won tournaments & titles, never played again. Why? Found a bigger game. Gardening has no opponent, instead a partner, Nature. Decades gardening, still learning, huge gulps. Humbling. At most my gardening is smiled upon, Nature allows it within her domain, for a time. Nature, in honesty, CEO not partner. I cleave to that fact, in all my gardening. Had thought of this as a 'good selfishness' for decades, until realizing, it is grace.

Doesn't matter, above, if photo shopped. Its sentiment true. Serendipities a Garden gifts arrive upon the wind, without ceasing.

If you've read this far you are aware this is about gardens, not landscape-mow-blow-go-commodify-all-touched with monthly contract.

My clients are of 2 stripes. Already whole & thriving or recently spit out by life into their new chapter/book of living whole. I know you're smiling. Becoming whole is the story of the Velveteen Rabbit. A lot of roughing up, it takes, becoming real, living whole.
