Top 10 Gardening Principles To Apply To Your Life
1. Plants need sun, water and nutrients to grow. We need food, water, shelter, exercise
and community to grow and thrive.
2. Healthy plants can withstand disease, pests and draught, at least for a little while.
With reserves of time, money, space, energy and love we can withstand the little bumps
in the road.
3. Native plants grow better and with less fuss then exotic plants. Develop your natural
skills and talents instead of struggling to become an expert in all areas.
4. Every plant doesn’t have the same level of need for sun, water, and nutrients. Do
what works for you, not what works for someone else.
5. Manure and bugs can help plants to grow better. The challenges in life often teach
you the best lessons.
6. A garden is never the same. It is always changing, evolving and adapting. We need to
be life long learners.
7. Plants have a dormant period when they rest and store energy for their next growth
spurt. We too need time to rest and store up energy for the next stage in our growth.
8. Some plant combinations, like marigolds keeping bugs off of the tomato plants are
complimentary, others like the ivy that smothers ever plant in its way are deadly. Your
neighbors can help or hurt you. Be careful with who you associate.
9. Little weeds are easier to pull then big weeds with deep roots. Practice a little “daily
weeding” in your life. Spend sometime every day on the area of your life that tends to
get “weedy”. If you seem to accumulate clutter this could be as simple as spending 15
minutes a day de-cluttering.
10. The super huge vegetable doesn’t usually taste good and every gardener knows
you can be overrun with zucchini. Bigger isn’t always better and more isn’t always what
you really need or want. Know how much is enough for you.
