Watering the Garden

A Practice of Connection & Mindfulness

Every evening, I look forward to time spent in the lush beauty of my garden. This is the time of day that I always water my plants and I love it, my garden is a place where time slows down for me, and the outside world fades away in these moments, leaving only the rhythmic sound of water droplets dancing upon the leaves. I treasure this time of the day so much.

I have my long hoses, but also a couple of good old fashioned watering cans. I love the tin one, it reminds me of the same one that we had when I was a child. Watering my plants with it is such a pleasure. I’m always tempted to stand under it on a humid day… it’s like a soft warm rain shower.
