This FREEBIE shares the power of gardening to get us through times of turmoil and give us time to mourn, heal, and hope.]( Dear Gardening, I’ll be honest; I’m not quite sure where to begin with this sampler of stories about healing gardens. In many cases, we try to look on the lighter side of gardening. Who can deny the humor in a fertilizer mishap or the realization that we just pulled all our young pea plants along with the weeds? But our gardens are also part of our lives. We have memories rooted alongside the sunflowers and daisies. The violets and daffodils have been there with us when we’ve cried in the rain. There’s a honeysuckle bush planted in honor of our favorite aunt, or we look fondly on the apple tree that our grandfather lovingly tended for years until he passed away. The stories in the Healing Gardens sampler are blooming with memories like these. The stories also brought a few tears to my eyes. The writing is deeply emotional, tender, and yes, there is sadness here. There’s also a lot of hope. [Sampler]( [Get My Freebie]( In the garden, our flowers sprout, grow, bloom, fade, and die. But when the robins start chirping in Spring and the sun starts to feel warm on our skin, our gardens are back at it, providing the promise that beauty is never far away. This sampler is filled with that same promise. In “Light Passes Through Me”, writer Morgan Gray shares what she learned from her favorite aunt, Sadie, as she was going through a divorce. The advice, shared in an unusual way, is something we can all take to heart. Love isn’t always ill-fated, though. In “Love and Daffodils Forever”, we get a beautiful glimpse into the happiness a garden brings to Bill and Constance, even after 39 years of marriage. But when Bill passes away, Constance can’t bring herself to tend to the garden, a place of so many happy moments. Then one Spring day, she discovers that Bill had left one final gift for her. This story is a tear-jerker that shows the power and love that healing gardens can truly bring.
