A SIMPLE PLEASURE

By: Sophie

What a wondrous sight to behold every spring when the first signs
of life burst through the ground or at the tips of all the trees and
bushes. With these first signs of spring come the first pangs of
spring fever. Our flower gardens, vegetable gardens, lawns, herbs
and so much more.

Whether your passion for gardening is out of necessity or a deep need
to connect with nature the experience to your mind, body and soul are
priceless. Gardening can be very therapeutic, relaxing and a unique way
to unwind from the very busy and hectic world we live in. The exercise
one gets from gardening is enough to get your blood flowing. Breathing
the fresh air can almost immediately rejuvenate your spirits and calm
frazzled nerves.

The anticipation of your first vine ripened tomato, the first butterfly
that comes to feed in the flower garden planted just for them or the
first dish you serve cooked with the fresh herbs just picked from your
garden the deep pleasure you experience is irreplaceable. These simple
pleasures are a good thing.

Gardening is something that can be shared with family and friends. Kids
love to garden, its fun, educational, relaxing and they are spending
quality time with their parents, siblings and grandparents. They get
to experience first hand the wonder of watching something grow from the
ground, ask questions and share their joys of gardening with friends.

Gardens are wonderful places for barbecues, birthday parties, and weddings
or any type of get-together. Gardens can be quiet places to read,
think or just reflect. Gardens offer an ambience unique to each garden.
Year-to-year the ambience can change depending on the age of a garden
or the plants and flowers added.

If you have never tried it but have always wanted to, there's no better
time. Everything you would ever need to know can be found online, it is
fairly inexpensive and extremely rewarding in so many ways. Simple
gardening can offer a lifetime of simple pleasures.
