Elements in Nature: Garden
The biological diversity of Earth is our teacher. Within Nature are revelations for solving problems and accomplishing tasks. We are one with Nature, and if we understand that relationship, wonderful things unfold for us.
Garden: Time for Nurturing.
Keynote: Creating and nurturing life; developing growth and opening to the mysteries of Nature.
Gardening
Gardens are Nature on a tiny scale. In a garden Nature is managed. It is Nature captured. It is also a symbol of the feminine energies, the ability to create and nurture life. The kind of garden you maintain (vegetable, herbal, etc.) and the kind of animal life that visits it can be very insightful. It can often reflect how well you are consciously using your innate creative energies and abilities.
As your garden grows and produces you will see movement & growth in corresponding areas of your life. Garden will strengthen your connection with Nature and animals.
Caring for a garden is a means of saying you are open to Nature. Developing your garden is a sign of developing consciousness and control of our own life.
Inevitably, someone will say, “I can’t make anything grow. Every time I plant something, it dies.” Death is a part of Nature and should not discourage you. It may also reflect that you are trying too hard or attempting to grow something of which you are not yet capable. Just like the development of anything beneficial, gardens require time and effort. Trying to develop immediate communion with Nature or assuming you will pick up plant care quickly and easily just by planting a garden is what creates superstition and disappointment.
Remember that seeds need time to germinate and take root. As do our individual knowledge and skills.
