As someone not inherently used to the beauty of flowers or what they symbolism, i was struck by how beautiful this flower garden is. Not about to bore with the history and the varieties of flowers in the garden, i will say that the garden and the beauty of the flowers have a calming influence. A sense of belonging and appreciation for the very simple things such as the gift of life, the gift of sight, the gift of smell as well as the acceptance that change and even death is a cycle, a part of life and inevitable. I visited the garden when the flowers were shedding and as others blossomed, some waned. there is a season for everything. they come and go. appreciation of the gift of life, the opportunities, the ups and downs and living life to its fullest in ways that make us happy should be the ultimate aim. I loved it.
