The Earth Speaks! A gardener's dedication to Earth Day

Our planet is a living and breathing masterpiece

Global warming and other environmental concerns have become an inescapable part of our daily news, and especially today on the 40th anniversary of Earth Day, which was first celebrated in Philadelphia in1970.  While most environmentalists and greening efforts focus on saving the Earth for our benefit, and for the health and welfare of our children and grand-children; there is another reason to take care of our green planet, and that's because the Earth speaks! There are lessons planted in nature that we don’t recognize that can teach us to live, grow, and survive. Nature provides visible and tangible messages of hope, help, and inspiration. There are hundreds of inspirational and motivational messages for living planted in nature that will not only inspire us to take care of the Earth, but also to take care of ourselves. 

There are motivational messages planted in nature

Have you ever walked down a city sidewalk and noticed a flower growing in the middle of the concrete? It signifies that we too can grow, thrive, and boom wherever we’re planted. We can even bloom between a rock and a hard place. Did you know that an oak tree doesn’t produce acorns until it’s at least 50 years old? This means; no matter what your age is, it’s never too late to grow and bloom. Would you like to turn over a new leaf? Learn the technique of pruning and transplanting, in the garden and in your life. Are you having difficulty dealing with change? Study the four seasons; there’s a reason for every season, and they all point to growth. Are you wondering which path to choose in life? Take a walk in the woods, follow the narrow path, and see where you’ll end up. Are you struggling with a bad habit? Just like weeding in the garden, you have to dig deeper to get to the root of the problem. Are you experiencing a series of storms in your life? Study the weather; where there are flowers, there must be sunshine and rain.  Are you down in the dark valley right now? Life is a series of peaks and valleys; remember, you have to travel down in the valley before you can climb up to higher heights.  There are hundreds of messages for successful living in nature, maybe thousands.
