Instinctively we know that the nature accepts us for who we are as residents of this planet.  It does not judge us for what we wear or for the type of car we drive.  Special garden settings can help us heal at our own pace and in our own unique way. In a garden people can come together to understand  the difficult  things that  happen in life and  are not easily explained or understood.

Involvement in a garden can help us heal. This is a story that we hear time and again.  The garden created after the shootings in Tucson in 2011 is one of those stories.  The story on NPR (Jan. 6th) highlights how we can turn to nature for respite and answers.
