Spring is the time when new life sprouts and grows. Plants use this time to warm up and prepare for summer. Flowers release pollen and create new seedlings. Trees grow leaves, flowers, and fruit. Fall is a time when plants shed their leaves and flowers die off to store energy for winter. Winter is a time for plants to rest and recover.
Annual plants add color to your landscape during the cooler months before the snow covers everything up. Fall or early winter is a good time to plant annuals because the ground is not frozen as much, which means the plants will be able to grow more vigorously. Annuals typically bloom in less than a year, so you can start to see changes pretty quickly.
Plants are teachers. They can teach us a lot about ourselves and the world around us. For example, they can teach us about our environment, our anatomy, and our physiology.
It is in the garden that we are able to commune with nature, and be inspired by the many new things that we can learn. Gardening can also be relaxing, as it allows us to take a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It is a great way to get outdoors and experience fresh air and sunshine.
Creating an oasis in your backyard can be a tranquil and beautiful space that you can enjoy every day. There are a number of ways to create an oasis in your backyard, and you can choose what works best for you. One approach is to design a pond or pool complete with lily pads and fountains. Another option is to create a naturopathic garden with medicinals and plants that improve air quality. Whatever approach you choose, be sure to include plenty of relaxation zones, such as hammocks and outdoor chairs, so you can take a break from the everyday hustle and bustle.
I enjoy spending time outside in my garden, exchanging pollen, water and seeds with the plants and flowers. It is interesting to watch the new life form, and it is a wonderful way to spend peaceful moments.
