Welcome to the garden! A garden's charm lies in the way it
welcomes you to reconnect with the soil in childlike wonder.
What first attracts you eventually absorbs you: the lingering
fragrance of honeysuckle on a humid summer night and the velvet
touch of pansy petals in the palm of your hand. Initially,
you wander into a garden to catch your breath, to relax and
regroup, and soak up its beauty. Before long you're dreaming
about taming the land. And you're discovering that there's
more to this than meets the eye.
Well, we've just started tilling the soil for this section.
We hope you'll check back with us from time to time to see
what new has sprouted. Whether you are a patio person, weekend
weeder, serious horticulturist, or a seeker of hope-filled
bouquets of inspiration, you'll find information about plants
that thrive in various climates, along with gardening tips
specific to the season. And since gardeners love to hear
about other gardeners' successes and frustrations, we would
like
to hear from you. If you have a tip you'd like to share,

I feel safe in God's arms, and I
shall always be able to stand on my own two feet, even when
they are planted on the hardest soil of the harshest reality.
