To Answer Your Question

When people ask me why I invest so much time and energy into gardening, I try to provide a diplomatic response. Something along the lines of " I like plants and flowers" or "I come from a gardening family."  A standard answer to a basic question.

However, what I really want to say is: "I get to do this! I get to go outside, run my hands in the dirt, feel the warmth of the sun on my face, and a  hint of wind in my hair. I get to visit with butterflies and worms and birds, oh my! I get to connect with a community of folks who share my passion for planting a seed and watching it grow. And I get to learn something new every day.

So why gardening you ask? Why not!
