Gardening can be a very rewarding experience, especially in terms of relational: relational to God, to the nature and
other human beings.
It can improve our mood and pumping new energy for us.
Gardening is potential to be a collective activity,
a hobby, a keen interest you can infect others with.
Many times I bring down my plants just to show to my mother,
for the purpose of simply sharing this journey together
and to show her all the beauty and natural wonders of
the Plant kingdom.
Gardening can even bring healing to our soul and body
and thus, no wonder some people incorporated gardening into the therapy medication. For those who have been gardening will understand the feeling of witnessing the first shoots and seedlings emerging from the soil, though it's just the cotyledon (false leaf), and experience the fullness of joy when the seeds turn into
a sweet harvest.
Gardening is magical, enriching and worthwile!
Gardening is transforming!
It transforms the way you perceive life. It transforms your patience. It transforms your endurance. It transforms your depencency on your own strenght 'cause in many occassions you just can't control anything, let alone everything.

Thank you for the encouragement Dan! And thank you for visiting my blog! I'm still far far away from living sustainably(still harvesting in small scale), but I'm trying to start doing what I can, and I very agree with you about starting with a changed paradigm first, so here I am, learning by doing,learning from experience, keep learning new things, infecting others with this way of thinking and hopefully make this a long term lifestyle! Hope you can find interesting things here, do leave comments or inputs, especially on gardening and handling pests through your own experience! Thanks again!
