My Simple Gardening Credo
10 Things I’ve Learned About Gardening
I wrote down a list of why I garden. It’s my gardening credo. It directs the work I do in my garden. I want to create a space where I can slow down and escape the stress of the daily grind. This space is much more than a bunch of pretty flowers.
I think gardens have the power to change our world. Creating a beautiful home and garden is important work. My garden is a space where I can express my creativity, find calm in a crazy world, and simply slow down.
