I so enjoyed reading your story at the perfect time snggled in bed still this morning, having time away from the family, time 'all by myself! Something I have wanted to do for a while but wasn't brave enough to do until now, Its what I needed. Thank you it has touched me, inspired and comforted me and I felt the love between the lines.

Thank you so much for sharing your story. I can relate to many of your experiences, and I thoroughly agree that gardens and working with nature is an amazing healer. I am continually learning and growing with the process of creating, tending and loving our garden. My husband and I are working on creating a new large garden - he had to retire early due to a workplace accident. I am still working part time, though doing as much as possible when I can in the garden. We joke that he is the dept of construction and urban services and I am parks and gardens. We both fight with the dept of finance 😂. So many times when reading your entires I have exclaimed Yes! Yes! Yes! I am enjoying learning so much from you - thank you 🙏 😊 Leanne 🌹

Thank you for the privilege of hearing your story. Stories like these are powerful as they bring hope to the world around us through the magic of nature and it’s ability to restore us. I hope someone turns your writings into a book one day so more people can find this in their own lives. I truly love to hear a garden’s origin story. Yes, pretty combinations are beautiful to the eye. But the real magic is what happened in the person who tended to the garden, as it worked on their heart and mind.

What a gift you give Ness ✨💕

I can’t wait to visit in real life one day if you open your garden to others, and experience some of this magic in real life.

As I sit here and catch up in the early morning, and watch as the sun rises out of my window, listen to the birds waking up and day light trying to peep through the clouds, and read your heart, my heart is moved in so many ways.... so thank you... for allowing this girl a glimpse into your world through sharing your heart.... and love of the garden.... it gives me hope that this country girl at heart, living in suburbia can create a garden that brings me so much pleasure and beauty. So thank you. 🌺❤️
