ITALY: One of Grannies who came to school to teach us about gardening, one day, told us about ... THE FIVE SECRETS TO ACHIEVING HAPPINESS IN YOUR GARDEN 1 . Grow the plants you love. If you want to be happy in your garden, you should fill it with the plants you love. It was so eloquently stated in those five words. “Grow the plants you love.” When we plant what we love in our gardens, we will love the plants in our garden. We will want to be out in the garden, enjoying those plants in all seasons, watching them grow, flower, and set seed. We will be on our way to achieving happiness in our gardens. 2 . Size your garden for the resources you have. To be happy in our gardens we should have a garden that is a size that we can manage with the time, money, and help we have! Does this mean we are all now destined to have small gardens? Absolutely not! It means that we need to do a little planning and a little saving, and not be afraid to ask for help in the garden when needed. 3. Buy good tools. Buy good tools because it will make your work in the garden more enjoyable. When you use cheap or poorly made tools, your focus is usually on the tool and trying to get it to cut or dig or hoe or whatever you are trying to do. You lose sight of the pleasures of being among the plants and flowers as you get soaked by a poorly made hose end sprayer. You get frustrated when your pruners just mash the stem of the plant and don’t cut it off cleanly. You get tired trying to dig with a cheap shovel. But when you have good tools, you can enjoy gardening. You can focus on the plants and the garden. You can observe the bees and butterflies. As you reach for those pruners to cut a bouquet of your very own flowers to bring indoors, there is no thought other than “Snip, what a pretty bloom”. 4. Respect Mother Nature. We respect Mother Nature when we accept the hardiness zone we are in and choose plants that will do well in our zone. We respect Mother Nature when we compost and use that compost to amend the soil in our gardens. We respect Mother Nature when we choose organic methods and eliminate the use of pesticides in our home gardens. We respect Mother Nature when choose plants that will attract bees, butterflies, birds and other critters to our gardens. Whenever we have a choice in our gardens, we should always choose the option that respects Mother Nature. To do otherwise will lead to frustration, heartache, worry and waste. There is no point to it when we can achieve happiness by just respecting Mother Nature. 5. Share your garden. Let others see your garden. Give others passalong plants from your garden. Give away vegetables and flowers from your garden. Share what you know about gardening by showing others how to garden. And most of all - share your love of gardening and plants with anyone who is willing to try to garden, too.
