52 <strong>Magazine</strong> | Feature BARRIER Lack of knowledge. DISCOVERY Consider this: If gardening is so hard, then how is it that so many people do it? The best way to learn is simply by doing. Through trial and error, you will rapidly gather relevant information as you grow. It’s true, too, that with gardening comes new connections and resources that may not have been obvious before. You don’t have to learn how to garden in isolation – ask family, friends and neighbours for advice. Staff at garden centres trip over themselves to assist new gardeners! Type in the most basic of your questions online and be rewarded with free resources provided by gardeners the world over. YouTube, social media, websites and the library allow you to dip your toe into gardening as a beginner without investing too much time or money. And remember that you have a partner in growing – Mother Nature. She takes care of most of it – you just need to learn the bare basics to get her started. BARRIER Lack of time. DISCOVERY Gardening absolutely takes time. From preparing beds to starting seeds, transplanting and weeding, your garden also needs time to grow. While there is no instant gratification here, the enforced patience seems to have a magnetic appeal once you experience a successful result. On reflection, the time spent in your garden is actually the point of it all. Ten minutes spent weeding or deadheading is ten minutes of self-care. Stolen moments of fresh air and your hands in the earth will change your life for the better. By all accounts, spending time working in the garden with children can also be a calming family activity. Most importantly, your garden doesn’t need you to tend to it daily! Plants want to grow and don’t need supervision. If life leads you away for a while, you’ll find that your garden is much more forgiving than you realise and getting it back on track isn’t always the mammoth, painful job you imagine.
Feature | <strong>Magazine</strong> 53 “Now, what I previously considered ‘life background’ is one of my life’s primary focuses! The garden is central to my creativity, wellbeing, connections and even work.”
