Weeds...

WEEDS…

Let’s flip
Weeds can be beautiful and flowers may not so.
Some people see growing plants as okay in the garden
while others may see growing the same things as
Unwanted visitors.

Weighing the good and bad are necessary parts of the whole.
In a garden, all are part of life.
Weeds become flowers, flowers were once weeds.

Perspective, relevance.
Some of the undesirable plants in the garden are more ancient than the desirable ones we protect and grow. They can be helpful.

The humble gardener will recognize this and works with all things.
They learn to do nothing when nothing is to be done.

It may be their garden, but they understand
that it is larger than themselves.

The garden teaches us life lessons.
