Love this. Love the pics and the quote about a garden being an autobiography. Love the reminders about planning and reflecting but also remembering that mistakes are opportunities.

Ellen, I wrote about my garden this week as a sacred space and included some pics if you want to check it out

My dog and I take weekly walks with a neighbor a couple of houses down who has lived here for probably close to 40 years. She has great gardens and we stroll through each others gardens almost weekly to see what’s in bloom and what popped up here or there. She has shared numerous plans with me in the 17 years since I first moved in to this neighborhood. We love to shop for new hellebores in the spring together, share ideas we want to try, and plants we have started from seed. I think we inspire each other!!

I am so excited to visit some of the Open Gardens this year. This was a great post- very inspiring, thank you so much for sharing! We still have about a foot of snow on the ground here, so I really enjoyed reading this and remembering that spring is on the way!
