Gardening: 'To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow' | Southsea Green
It feels like we’ve really leapt into autumn here in Southsea as temperatures drop and winds blow in the new season.
At a time of such uncertainty, growing offers us all something incredibly important. Hope. ‘To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow,’ as Audrey Hepburn once said.
When we put hands to earth, whether it is sowing seed or raking up autumn leaves we are continually moving forward, we are believing in the next step, the future, tomorrow.
Things may be beginning to slow down in our gardens in terms of growth but there are always jobs to do that no matter how small, always contribute to the overall picture and vital flow of our green spaces; gardening, as ever, mirroring life, reminding us that if we keep taking those small, seemingly insignificant steps, one day in the future, a tomorrow, you’ll look back and realise their real importance.
