The Time for new memories?

Posted on February 26th, 2009

Many of us I’m sure can recall events growing up in the Family garden, whether as very young children or young adolescents observing or actively taking part in casual but warm family discussions. We can recall many occasions shared and enjoyed talking with or more likely listening to our  Grandparents or indeed our Parents reminiscing about earlier times. Even for ‘non-garden lovers’, the garden has always been a central area in many of our lives where belief, values and memories are exchanged, discussed and indeed shared. 

Of course for some the garden provides a great opportunity in which to indulge in love of plants or favourite hobby, but for many the garden is most likely an area we revere more as a retreat or sanctuary from which allows us momentarily at least to escape everyday life? A place which is often close to our heart and closely associated with Home, warmly familiar but an environment in which we enjoy the reassuring atmosphere of a secured and familiar ambience.

Occasionally our busy lives might remind us that this area which we call garden, is much more than simply a collage of hard and soft landscaping elements. Just as the cliched expression succinctly advises us,  ‘take time to smell the roses’,  the garden offers us the potential pleasure of leisure, but more importantly perhaps, an area in which to share and remind ourselves of past memories.

The next time we are in the garden, why not try to find the time for new memories?
