There is much to be said about the healing of the mind and soul found in nature (I'm not so sure my body agrees tho) ... My garden, planting and weeding has literally kept me sane the last few weeks.
If you want to experience peace plant a garden...
I've weeded, dug over, planted (no need to water with this rain) and I've messed with my OCD self as I've planted a cottage garden for Miss P. I've spotted self seeded plants re appearing from seeds sent to me from friends and I've purchased new ones.
I've read up and learnt about pruning, separating runners and roots and I've learnt the difference between annuals and perennials.
Instead of letting the stress rise I've diarised to spend time in my garden (and also with my friends) ... My garden is a peaceful place to be ...

My husband does most of the gardening but I do help. Yesterday we bought and electric hedge trimmer. It was fun! I took about 3 feet all around the front hedge near our front door. I was joking with my husband that he better not leave it with me because he might come home to the entire yard cut down the the nubbins!
So lovely to see you finding peace amongst your garden and it's progress....such a beautiful way to find the calm amongst the storm xxx
it sure is the place to get 'grounded'.
