Plants make me happy. There’s just something about being surrounded with living, growing, natural things that makes me feel calm. More than that being in the garden, working with the earth and seeing life change at a lower level, makes me appreciate my place in the world.

Today’s life is full of stress, worry… That all melts away when you’re alone, listening to the birds, and seeing ants busy at work beneath the shade of a pepper plant. This category will feature posts from my community garden I recently started, what I’m learning, the progress of my plants, and anything else I fancy writing. Enjoy!
