"By becoming in tune with the seasons of growth and fall, preparation and harvest, you make your mind and body happier and healthier. By having a direct stake and involvement with the process of plants growing, of having your hands in the soil and tending it carefully and with love, your world--and everyone’s else’s world, too--becomes a better place." - Monty Don
Gardening can do what medicine only 'tries to mimic' for mental health, Monty Don says

Posted by KateOahuI saw some pretty flowers on a walk today. I’d never seen a white Hibiscus before. And I do not know what the pink flowers are.
