"He who plants a garden, plants happiness and well-being around themselves"🌿
To witness growth, to have a closer look at what progress implies; planting a garden
would enable a person to experience this process called growth. To be able to
observe a seed grow into big plant is such a feeling!
Rightly quoted by Alfred Austin- “The GLORY of gardening: Hands in soil, head in the
sun. To nurture a garden is to feed not just on the body, but the soul.
While gardening
we make sure following steps are taken into consideration:
1. Plan what to plant
(Fragrant floral plants garden, Vegetable garden or herbs garden)
2. Picking up the
correct spot (full sun).
3. Cleaning the ground, improving the soil.
4. Working on the soil
5. Picking the
desired plants
6. Starting to plant
7. Watering the plants
8. Protect your garden with
mulch (material such as decaying leaves, bark, or compost spread around or over a plant to enrich or insulate the soil)
9. Weeding, maintaining the garden.
“Never underestimate the healing power
of a quiet moment in the garden”. Although tomorrows are never promised but to plant
a garden is to believe in tomorrow.
Nature is such an alchemist it has all the ability to rejuvenate, retreat, refresh, rejoice
and renew mood. Mother nature can accommodate all of us and
keep serving us as a best- healer for our ailments. Gardens can aid in the treatments
ranging from minor depressed moods to severe cancer-like diseases and disorders. Till
today, most of the doctors in many cases advises – to visit garden/parks for faster
recovery because “a garden is a delight to the eye and a solace for the soul”.
As per Janet Kilburn Philips - Gardening becomes more therapeutic when – “There are
no gardening mistakes only EXPERIMENTS” so, lets experiment and heal yourself
deeply. Even today there are people who do talk to their plants and feel better.
Being thankful and grateful for gardens around us.
To end this article, I would like to mention a quote by-
Elizabeth Murray
“Gardening is the art that uses flowers and plants as PAINTS and the soil as the
canvas”
I personally love to plant herbs like peppermint, coriander, dill (aromatic and tender).
Let me know your favorite plant in the comment section.
