Adapting the Garden to the Gardener
Gardening is a process - things keep changing. Life is also a process and we also keep changing. Sometimes we find that we can't keep up with things the way we used to. But that doesn't mean giving up on the garden. Instead, we need to find ways to make adjustments that let us keep on enjoying our favorite activity, allows us to keep on learning and adapting. Adapting garden to gardener is also a process and it can be educational as well as enjoyable.

The trees in the original Garden of Eden held the secret to life and healing. We can help to recreate our own Garden of Eden by planting healing trees.
