Lessons From The Garden

June 03, 2021 • Kristin Donnelly

In this episode, I go solo and share some of the life lessons I’ve learned from the garden.

#1 It’s not too late!
I’ve always felt late to everything, including gardening. It’s not too late this year or in your life to start gardening! Listen to learn more.

#2. Perfect is as impossible in the garden as in life.
By nature, plants are not perfect and neither are we. But plants want to grow and so do we. We need to embrace the imperfection of the garden and help nature do its thing. Here is a wonderful piece by Kat Kinsman that I mentioned. https://www.foodandwine.com/how/dont-be-weird-about-gardening

#3 Embrace the process
People like to say progress, not perfection. How about process, not perfection. I’m so grateful that my garden is not my main source of food, and because of that, the stakes are lower. I get so much joy in the process of gardening that the harvest is just a bonus!
