My mothers garden is looking terrific and my amateurish photographs do not do justice to it.
It wasn't always 'her" garden though. It was planted and nurtured by Dad who was the gardener of the family. She however has taken on the challenge of learning how to care for a garden as her way of honouring his memory and two years after his death here it is flourishing. Not without some wobbles along the way but her solution to most bugs, diseases and pests is to spray with soapy water. So far it seems to work.
To me it just goes to show how important love and faithfulness is. Even plants and gardens absolutely flourish under a faithful, loving hand.
Lovely photos, beautiful garden flowers. And, true.
