Growing a garden teaches us a lot of different things. One big lesson is that you reap what you sow. If you plant lettuce seeds, you won't get tomatoes! And in life, we get from it what we're willing to put into it. You learn that growing things in a garden take time, it's the same with our own growth. It doesn't happen overnight when you make a choice for change. You have to work at it.
Every time you plant something, you learn things. Then when you plant again next season, you take what you've learned, and learn some more. That's how life works, too. Your experiences are what teaches you how life works. What you take from each experience shapes you for the next situation that comes along. Learning things about a garden, or about ourselves, is a lifetime job. Even now, in my 60s, I'm still learning. So are you!
When you're growing a garden, you have to nurture and nourish it with water, with fertilizer, with your time and care. It's the same with your own life, applying self care to your own well being helps you to be able to take care of others as well.
And the best lesson a garden teaches us is to never give up!
