Gardening for Leisure

Are you retired or a home maker and have extra time on your hands? Looking for a great hobby or project to fill that time? Well, you should consider gardening. Gardening is extremely stress relieving, will give you plenty to think about (all those beatiful plants, shrubs, flowers and trees to pick out!) and will be very rewarding in the long run. There is nothing quite as satisfying as seeing the end results of a great fruit and vegetable garden, a flower garden, or beautifying your lawn with trees, shrubs and decor. Your neighbors will love it as well as the wildlife! So I say, while the weather is still nice outside, it's time to plant!












More To This Than I Thought!

I've done a little research and apparently there is more to gardening and astrology than I thought. In fact there is an ancient tradition of assigning plants to planets. In the 17the century English herbalist and astrologer, Nicoloas Culpeper applied his knowledge of this to English plants.

On the site www.starwaves.co.uk/astrologygardens.html astrologer Jean Elliot will help you design a permanent astrology garden. There are large and small designs and you can have your own birth chart on the ground. There are even joint birth charts for couples in the shape of a chart wheel.

If you want to create something interesting, meaningful and a conversation piece in your yard you should give it a try!
