The Gift of the Marigold
I never thought I could gain so much insight from such a simple activity such as gardening. You become more patient, develop an eye for detail, and learn sustainable methods to keep your soil fertile and plants healthy. I think that some may overlook or even scoff at such a trivial pastime. But not everyone. With that said, I’m incredibly grateful for the time I spent gardening with my grandmother; her sweet, benign nature and deep, holistic wisdom permeates through my mind to this day. Without her, I wouldn’t have looked twice at such a graciously impactful flower as the marigold.
