Well life is certainly crazy at the moment and who knows for how long. In a future that seems to be measured in hourly increments, this COVID19 virus is causing the world to slow down, halt, and regroup.
Perhaps it's not all bad, as it gives us time to think and reflect in the garden. While my passion is to travel and I love to discover new places, gardens and learn the history, it's making me think about here and now and what we can do while in self-isolation.
Now self-isolation means different things to different people. For me right now, it's the start of spring and a magical time in the garden and starting to think about the this year's garden. Designing a garden takes time and starting now is a great time of year for that (of course, we are still here, and happy to help you with all your design needs).
I love the daffodils and all the blossoms, but I'm definitely waiting for the magnolia to bloom, that has a special place in my mind. Gardens, springtime, and blooms have a way of unconsciously helping us to mark time and events. Our gardens can be a place where all the craziness in the world melts away and the beauty new life and a hopeful future can be embraced.
So we embrace the garden for a peaceful isolation while waiting for the world to come back to normal when the waiting will be over.
