Summer in Our Garden
Summers on the Northern California coast are typically cool and foggy, and this year has been no exception. That allows us to revel in cool-growing Cymbidium, Epidendrum, and Masdevallia orchids, as well as other plants like fuchsias, poppies, and nasturtiums. Their bright colors stand out against the green background, enticing bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and humans.
Tending to our own little patch of nature is a great panacea for life’s stresses. When I’m in the garden, my focus turns to these floral gems, and my mind automatically shifts from worrying to wonder. It doesn’t solve many problems, but it certainly offers a mental reset that restores me. It’s so easy to get lost in the pain and suffering of the world, and our garden helps me find my way again.
