Ah yes, it's really the garden tending us ... I never thought of it that way, but it's true of course. I feel very humble towards my garden now, for its tending me so well although I often neglect it. Thank you.

I read this before but couldn't quite understand why it moved me so.

It seems so poignant and full of meaning somehow. I can't say why it moved me - but it did.

Thanks.

So true. I've not the land anymore for a garden, but I have more than twenty plants inside and the little care they need of me is returned many times over in the care they take of my spirit, the reminder that what we nurture nurtures us.

You are so right with your title and the opening line of each stanza, to have and tend a garden is therapeutic, we think we tend the garden, but as you so elequently put it, it's the other way round.
