Sitting In........

 Sitting in the garden this afternoon I realised how the power of love has transformed this once barren piece of earth, into a relaxing oasis of lush greenery.

 I began planting the back garden last March, so, it is not even one year old, and yet, when I look at these two images, it seems quite unbelievable that this space has been so completely transformed in one year.

It was a comment from a friend the other day got me thinking about this alteration, especially when I was asked what I did I do to create the abundant life that fills this space.

Sitting down to ponder this question I came to realise that the major factor to my gardens health is love!

I spend a lot of time here just sitting and loving this space, acknowledging each plant, stroking them, talking to them, and, welcoming each bloom that opens its beauty within this modest space.

I use no pesticides, and chemical free organic fertilisers once a month to ensure that they receive all the nutrients they require for health, I also do not over water, there is no reticulation, as I did not know how to install it, but, mainly I prefer to spend time with my garden once a day, connecting and admiring the grace the plants return to me.

 It is a place of peace, a place to rest, to stop for awhile and allow the cooling breeze to lull you into a state of restfulness.

 Whether inside, or out, the effect is the same, enticing you to lay back and surrender to the love that radiates around you........
