Garden - by Debb




A garden wild and weedy grew below our flat. Mostly grass and the rest bare earth, it was a sad scrawny patch hungry for love. So love we gave. We've changed it into a native flower rockery. Such a delight to walk past now, seeing the local bees and bugs sip at the buds and buzz contentedly. They're not the only ones contented. I felt such connectedness playing about in the soil and surprised to see so many critters still living in such a barren place.

Thought i'd share a few pix of our new flowers. I love the variety, colours, patterns and textures of each. Perhaps inspiration for future soulknockings. Is there a garden in your 'hood that could do with some creative sprucing? ^^
