A Simple Seed By: Arleen Kaptur Gardening - a very special activity for young and old, alone or with family and friends. There are many activities that offer benefits to young and old alike. There is, however, one very special fun-thing to do whose benefits definitely outweigh the work that is involved. The old adage "Hard work preceives the pleasure" is not accurate when it comes to gardening. The pleasure is weaved through the entire process from start to finish and the benefits can reach into seasons to follow. You can garden alone, with family and friends, and even as a community project. A very special reward is to bring gardening to a child. They not only learn where their food comes from, but they can actually see and touch nature at its finest. For adults, we can grow food that we trust, free from chemicals and contaminants. We are the ones that know what went into our garden, and we reap the harvest of taste, visual beauty, and the delight of giving our families only the very best. Gardening is recycling. Turning food scraps and kitchen throw-aways back into a compost pile assists nature so it can give back so much more than we could ever anticipate. Wildlife is made to feel welcome and future generations can learn the lesson of respecting life and nurturing what a tiny seed can produce. You can have acres of land, a small backyard plot, or even a patio or balcony filled with containers. A kitchen windowsill works fine for herbs and even old coffee cans with a drainage hold at the bottom will suffice. Not only are we in touch with nature, but we can relax while we putter around our garden, and if need be, this is one great place to let go of the frustrations of a trying day. This Spring, share the joy of gardening with your family, neighbors, or friends, and bask in the sunshine of a wonderful and enjoyable activity that is non-fattening, non-threatening, and a whole lot of fun.
