SO GLAD I HAVE A GARDEN

Thinking of you and your family, Lillileaf - the therapeutic effect of being in the open air with the scents and sounds of nature can indeed be a comfort.

My condolences lillileaf to you and you family.

yes i to would like to add our condolences  for your sad loss Lillileaf and its true gardening does help you in times like this i call this my garden therapy we spend many a happy hour in the garden

My garden means so much to me because it gives back to you more than you would ever realise. When I was on chemo I wrote this poem and just hopes it helps you in some way.

MY GARDEN

I know a place where I can go
Through Lad’s Love, lavender and the thyme
Where the delphiniums and the columbine
Watch daisies dance in perfect time
As the foxgloves bow low.

I love a place where I can rest
And ease the heavy burden I must bear;
To lose my worries in soft evening air
And tread the grass (barefoot if I dare)
To seek the curlew’s nest.

I have a place, where I can find
No place for pity’s thoughts to hitch a ride
With the blowsy rose’s perfume by my side
To still my mind.

I have a place where I can sit
And stroke the softest, softest fur
On whiskered face. A lazy, lazy purr.
Tail across my knee. A stretch. A stir.
“And is it time for tea? Is it?”
