Gardening is about enjoying the smell of things growing in the soil, getting dirty without feeling guilty, and generally taking the time to soak up a little peace and serenity.

Plant on a whim. Lay the footpath where your heart says it should be. Change things because you feel like it. Garden for the love of it.

The gardens that make us happiest flourish because we have taken the time to make sure they feed our souls and fill a special place in our lives. Sometimes you have to think about what you really want from your garden . . . once the beds are laid out and the rose bushes planted.
