Many gardens have been watered by tears as we rebel at the unfairness of the thing that tears us apart. Gardens are a place of refuge and healing. We are hard-wired to find nature engrossing and soothing. As we work with our hands in the soil, or sit and take it all in, stress lowers, and we can feel an overall sense of wellbeing and hopefulness. In a garden we can feel God’s peace as we disconnect from our inward focus and focus instead on our surroundings and life around us.
