For as long as I can remember, I've been a passionate and serious gardener. Like cooking and photography, it gives me immeasurable pleasure.
Writers often compare gardens to life because cultivation, in a horticultural sense, is easily analogous to the nurture and sustainability we maintain in ourselves. Seasons come and go. We thrive, we languish, we preserve, we carry on. The basic principles for survival are almost exactly the same. A garden is a place to witness the effects of time and yet a place to displace them as well.
In honor of Earth Day, I wanted to share with you something very near and dear to my heart -- my garden.
We sustain each other.
Paper | Cascade
Ranunculus and Succulents, two of my favorites
Comfortable drama
Gardening, like life, is one big mystery
Sweetly aged
The juxtaposition of an old pot and a new bloom
Wanted - waiting
she knows which is which
Twice your age, sweet lady.
Antiqued terracotta turns me on while the sweet lavender calms
Come on baby, split!
Like the release from being held
Freedom | inheritance
My grandfather would be proud...
Timeless, like years
Paris in Springtime, i breathe you in
Carefully, we cultivate our garden of life.
Take the time to take it in. Keep on growing.
