In harmony with your garden

A garden is the natural environment in which you live. As you take care of your garden, it will partly form because of your actions, but the power of nature will always remain. That power of nature is healing and harmonizing. Nature always brings itself back into balance after a disturbance or change. When you and your garden come in harmony, this also will apply to yourself. It means that your garden will continually adapt and recreate itself to give you all the health you need. Sometimes this can be amazing, that when you or someone in your family attracts a disease, the medicinal plants that can heal you will suddenly appear in your garden. Of course, this can only happen when you treat your garden as a part of nature and don't destroy it with unnatural chemicals or other products. Also, you must have eye for the 'own will' of a garden. Weeds can be problematic, but not always, because some of them may be the healing agents that nature sends you.
