This is morning glory... my nemesis. In my garden, I definitely consider it a weed. Let's talk about weeding for a moment. . But first, what is a weed? It's just any plant that grows where you don’t want it to be. . So, why do we weed? We weed because they take up valuable real estate in the garden. They compete for light, nutrients, and available water in the soil. . Why else should we weed, why do I weed? I weed to process, and in the last 18 months, there's been plenty to process. . I often catch myself wrapped up in an emotion and taking it out on some morning glory (or runner grass) that's overtaken the thrift (and everything else). Hyper-focused, tears internally flowing, silently cursing, trying to eradicate EVERY LAST ROOT 😡🤬👹 It's a battle against the grass, against the world, against myself. . Then the most miraculous thing happens... something breaks, I pause, I look up, and I see the most glorious rose. My heart lifts, I laugh to/at myself. I breathe deeply and let it all go. . The process of gardening is an incredible act, it's like life. It's physically demanding, at times difficult, and then you throw sh*t at it and growth happens, and even more surprising, blooms happen. I'm forever in awe of this transformative process, in the garden and in life. . If you’d like to learn more about your garden and yourself, and help to rage against the weeds at the same time, click the Book Now link in my profile and schedule an in-person consult. . Where do you process? Do you take it out on your garden like I do, or just go for a run instead? . . . #morningglory #gardenweeds #weeding #unwantedplants #gardentasks #gardenmaintenance #emotionalprocessing #emotionalhealing #deepbreath #breathedeep #breathdeeply #breathwork #breathworkhealing #gardenconsultant #gardencoach #gardencoaching #gardenhealing #therapeutichorticulture #therapeuticgardening #gardentherapy (at Seattle, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWGhyoWvooY/?utm_medium=tumblr

Something like this at the back of the tunnel??We could use some of our compost to fill two thirds of the beds and we have all that mulch....I have never personally been a fan of raised beds but somehow I think it might work for our garden users.

The Kisdiófa Community Gardens (Budapest) is one of the vacant land / community  garden projects run by KÉK - Contemporary Architecture Center, who were the pioneers of urban gardening in Hungary. 

(Click below to Keep reading)

Until May 2019  I was working as the engagement programmer of the Budapest Community Gardens and assisting in the development of the first therapeutic garden in Budapest. To support the development of the Garden and engage the public in the process a 'Therapeutic Gardens and Nature Theraphy' public lecture series was curated by me (see the first 3 photographs by Máté Bartha). It aimed at starting a discussion amongst the public and professionals to highlight the therapeutic benefits of nature in the urban context  The last 3 photos photos were taken at the last community engagement event I have organised for the Gardens last Spring, before I would have moved to work on my MDes in Glasgow.

I made progress on a thing today!! This side of The Burrow used to be home to insanely unkempt forsythia bushes. They'd become overrun with saplings and weeds and had to go. I ripped them out by hand (woof) and re-worked the bed with rocks. I purchased 4 decently sized burning bushes and then transplanted all the hostas I had in my backyard (they were doing nothing back there) and lined the front of the bed! I am so pleased with how it turned out. Now, I just have to keep it decently watered and they will grow and flourish! || lifeintheburrow.com #heavygardenday #therapeuticgardening #healinggarden #byeugly #burningbushes #forsythia #hostas #byhand #rocks #landscape #onmyown #independentwoman #growbabygrow🌱 #openairgardencenter #lifeintheburrow
