Saturday Cuttings

Reading through my blog reader today I came across Dawn's blog, The Sundial Garden with a post titled Saturday Cuttings. What a neat idea.  Something simple but yet can be so helpful.  So I thought I would join.

My "cutting" comes from a book called Greenhouse Gardener's Companion by Shane Smith.

'Gardening is a therapeutic activity; it helps make the worries of your life diminish in importance.'


I have seen different versions of sayings much like this one.  And have even written about it myself.  Gardening can have so many health benefits but the therapeutic aspect is my favorite.  When my stress level is high I like to go work in the garden.  Be it watering my houseplants or sitting in the greenhouse.  I always feel better afterwards.

Join me and share something about gardening from what you are reading or have read....or just a great tip.  Your never to old to learn something and your never to young to teach something.
