Everything I Know I Learned in My Garden

Life's Lessons in My Own Backyard

By Emily Barned

Begin early, but it is never too late to start.
If it doesn't work, try something else.

Life is fragile. Protect it.
Life is Enduring. Trust it
Life is daily. Water it. Weed it.

Life is indescribably beautiful. Enjoy it and say thank You.
Growth takes time. Be patient. And while you are waiting, pull a weed.
There is something for everybody. Different blooms for different rooms.

Pruning hurts. Pruning helps you to grow.
Sometimes the tiniest flowers smell the sweetest.
To everything there is a season. But know what season you are in.

Dream big. But try not to let ambition turn your joy into drudgery.
Grow what you love. The love will keep it growing.
Reap what you sow. But there will be surprises
