A Grower Perspective

A month or so ago I went hiking to a beautiful waterfall not far from where we live. Besides the stunning waterfalls every plant, every rock, every piece of moss looked perfectly composed, creating a landscape nearly impossible to recreate. How is it that we work so hard in our gardens to create great beauty and out in the untouched world it is splendid without a finger being lifted? I notice that in my rural setting where I live, I am busy around my home toiling away to make a garden I find satisfying and then with a brief walk up the trail into the woods I find perfection, tranquility and rest in the natural landscape around me.
