Life in the garden

gomphrena-3_1.JPGThere’s absolutely nothing better than being out in the garden on a beautiful spring day with a bright blue sky above and the sweet scent of rich earth under our hands and knees. Communing with earthworms, bees and butterflies as the birds serenade us and flowers bloom around us in profusion --how idyllic is that? It's so heavenly that sometimes I lose all sense of time and forget to come in for lunch. Has that ever happened to you?

Nature repays us many times over for all the work we put into our little plot of land. When we come to the garden seeking rest and rejuvenation, it serves as our sanctuary—a treasured place we can go when the world becomes too much for us and we need to come back to our peaceful center. Being in the garden slows us down and brings us back to the present moment.

But if a gardening issue rather than life in the world has you frazzled, call on a Master Gardener! We are a great resource for the home gardener. Although we all have our own talents and specific horticultural interests, each one of us has a burning passion for gardening. And we love to share that passion. We can most likely talk your ears off about any gardening subject. Go ahead…put us to the test! If you have a gardening question you’d like us to answer, please contact us on Tuesdays or Thursdays (9 AM - 12 NOON) at our “hortline” number: 610- 690-2671
