If we fill our time taking care of plants we can get rid of stress, it
is a scientifically proved thing.


One of my favourite gardening writers (Jackie French - an Australian) had a
very tough, poverty stricken time at one stage of her early adult life. She
has written that at that time she decided that if she had all the flowers
she could possibly pick with whcih to fill the house, then she would never
feel poor. That thought has always stayed with me as it is so simple but
rings true to me.


That is very beautiful!!! Thanks for sharing that.
Peace and Love Hippie Chick.

I get a lot of inspiration also from poetry people write about
gardening and even weeds! Just search for weed poetry to see a number
of interesting and inspiring poems.

There's even a poetry contest where you can submit your own poems
about weeds?

If you can't beat them, write about them!
