A garden does more than bloom—it teaches us to wait, to nurture, and to trust that life unfolds exactly when it should.
A garden is a grand teacher. It teaches patience and careful watchfulness; it teaches industry and thrift; above all it teaches entire trust. ~ Gertrude Jekyll

Reflection):
A garden doesn’t rush. It unfolds in rhythm with the seasons, teaching us that growth cannot be forced—it must be trusted. Gertrude Jekyll reminds us that every seed carries a quiet wisdom: patience, attentiveness, and faith in unseen roots. In tending soil, we also tend the soul. We learn that careful watchfulness is not control but care, that industry and thrift come not from scarcity but gratitude. And above all, a garden teaches trust—the kind that believes life renews itself even after the coldest winter. When we align with that rhythm, peace replaces striving, and gratitude replaces worry.
