For me, gardening is more than a hobby - it's a way of life. I find solace in quietly and methodically tending to my plants, and it's satisfying to see that my efforts are paying off. There's nothing like the feeling of biting into a juicy native tomato or cutting off a bunch of fresh herbs.

But it's not just about the end result, it's about the process. The process of planning, planting and maintaining a garden brings me real joy. From the excitement of waiting for seeds to germinate, to the satisfaction of watching my plants thrive, every stage of the gardening process is a joy.

I also learned a lot from my gardening journey. From the importance of soil health and composting, to the art of companion planting and pest control, I have developed a deep appreciation for the interconnectedness of nature.
