Room of Resurrected Plants

I like plants! I like to have green, growing, living things surrounding me year round. In the deep, dark, cold depths of winter, plants are life when there seems to be none.

But sometimes, I forget that the life inside needs care, attention, and love, which can pretty much come in one form: WATER.

And like I said, sometimes I forget.

And when it appears that I've killed the life in our house, my husband comes to the rescue and takes those dead plants to work and brings them back to life. He waters them, repots them, puts them on a cart to take them out to give them fresh air and sun for short times if the weather is nice.

He saves them and creates life where there was none.

Connection with gardens, even small ones, even potted plants, can
become windows to the inner life. The simple act of stopping and
looking at the beauty around us can be prayer.

Each person's idea of a garden is unique. In creating a garden,
we not only open a door to Nature but to an ideal space,
one we can control and order.
