… An ode to the Gardener within.

Gardening has been and will always be a sacred act of connection to myself and my body. I spent many beautiful hours working alone in my garden back in Cape Town. Created from a dusty old sandpit to a beautiful Zen garden. It took years of love, patience and dedication to cultivate this space and often it was only Riley 🐾 and myself tolling away together. He would sit under my Persian Silk tree watching me, with the wind gently blowing his long hair and ears as he looked over his garden with me. He loved it as much as i did.

I left this sacred space behind with my prayer flags from India still flapping in the side bamboo garden and some heart shaped rocks under the trees. In the end, my garden had settled in on itself and it was filled with birds, bees and butterflies.

I’m not sure when I will have another garden again but I look forward to when that day comes. I fell in love with being a planter of life and I loved creating sacred spaces!!!
