Writer: The Gardening TeamThe Gardening Team

🌼 What’s Growing in Your Garden Today?

Every day, gardeners of all ages experience a wide range of emotions—this is what we call a garden of emotions.


Some days feel bright and blooming with 🌸 happy, calm, confident feelings.


Other days might feel a little overgrown with 🌱 sad, anxious, or frustrated ones.


And that’s okay, gardeners. Emotions—both positive and challenging—are a natural part of life. What matters most is how we recognize, name, and nurture those emotions.
