ON GARDNERS

Gardners, by nature, are a hopeful lot.  We'll take a seed, a small cutting or a small starter plant and nurture it till it grows.  Part of this is the love of seeing the metamorphosis of the seedling to the full grown plant or bloom.

We garden with the hope that our efforts will produce something useful and beautiful in the end.  Sometimes things die, but that does not prevent us from our continued gardening efforts......we don't GIVE UP.  

I believe that the events in our world happening right now can correlate to a gardner's efforts in their own home.

Our world is FULL OF plant loving people

who garden for beauty, necessity, hobby or just for the love of getting their hands in dirt...and each one of us does this with hope in our heart's that our plant will survive and thrive. We know that we need to stick with what works and neglect the rest.  So right now stick with the positive people and people who believe we will not only survive this pandemic but we will come out of it with lessons well learned.

   

So, if you can, plant a plant, plant a seed, plant a cutting.  Love it and nurture it until it grows into something strong and healthy.  

Do this for yourself, do this for our world.

"Don't ever give up. Don't ever give in.  Don't ever stop trying.  Don't ever sell out~~and if you find yourself succuming to one of the above for a brief moment, pick yourself up, brush yourself off, whisper a prayer and start where you left off.  But never, ever, ever give up."
