Could I impart even a very small amount of my enthusiasm for gardening in 100 words? (20 used thus far).
World Mental Health day was on October 10th. Can gardening help with mental health? I say a resounding YES. Here’s my top 3 thoughts:
- A good garden MAY have some weeds. Akin to ill-health, weeds remind me of life’s struggles. The trick is to ensure that the flowers dominate.
- I frequently see one small job that needs doing, but after an hour of pottering about I have lost myself in harmony with the earth
- Gardening is my therapy of choice
End of 100-word challenge.
“I am intrigued by writers who garden and gardeners who write. The
pen and the trowel are not interchangeable, but seem often linked.”
