For decades I have been passionate about creating beautiful gardens. In this quest for beauty, I learned, cultivar by cultivar, what was important for each plant to thrive. As I witnessed the fruits of my labor of love, I realized that many of the rules that applied to my green friends were every bit as important for me and my human companions. My garden was a daily living example of how good health practices pay off. It was this living green proof that motivated me to change many of my bad health habits, and be as loving to myself as I was to my flowers. Here are the biggest rules my garden taught me:
First , we aren’t all alike: just as some plants need different conditions to thrive so do people.
An abundance of natural light is a necessity.
Hydration makes us healthy and makes us look good too.
pH matters for people and plants.
Sometimes a plant or a person needs a little space.
Quality of life can be greatly enhanced by having compatible companions.
Chemicals can sometimes be a quick fix or a quick disaster, and used long term always a problem- creator.
After a storm beats us down, we will stand tall again: it’s just a matter of time.
Don’t forget the trace minerals.
I guess we aren’t very different from our plant kingdom companions. After all, we are protoplasm too.
Wishing you happy gardening and good health, too.
