and you wanted your home to look beautiful. You landscaped with flowers and shrubs, and your yard looked wonderful for about two weeks. But then, they didn't do as well as you hoped. Some of your flowers died, others just look terrible. Why, you must have wondered? You could have sworn you did everything right! What went wrong? It must be your neighbor's advice or that nursery's fault! But alas, a beautiful garden that is easy care and breath-taking involves a little imagination, some planning, researching and some muscle.
So take heart...try envisioning that your plants have souls. They do, you know. I truly believe all living things have souls. Maybe not in a religious context, but in the web of life, a universal form of energy. Have you ever thrown out a flower or shrub that didn't do well and you thought it had died? You tossed it in a garbage can or into a compost heap. Days later, you are working in your compost pile or taking the trash to the curb, when you notice that this very plant that struggled in your garden with the proper water, correct sunlight, and attentive care you gave it, is wrestling to stay alive and is even producing leaves and blooms! That is the spirit of the soul. It amazes me every day that I witness this essence of universal power. Your garden will respond in kind if you are aware of what plants need and provide the proper essentials for a good beginning.
