Hi, I’m Michelle owner of

The Gardener Life.

I am glad you are here!

 

Philosophy

Personally the garden has made me realize my connection to living things and grounded me. There is joy in seeing seeds grow until harvest and in the nurturing that accompanies being close to living things. No matter where you live, small or not so small…the garden is magical. THIS I have experienced firsthand. Over the years of gardening I have learned that each planting season starts something beautifully new and each season is holding hope in those tiny seeds. There’s a song by Sara Groves that speaks to the place that gardening has as we try to restore a little bit of paradise each day:

Redemption comes in strange places, small spaces calling out our best and I want to ADD to the BEAUTY
