Portfolio > Hope Is a Garden

There is so much to love about the September garden. Many of my favorites are finally reaching their prolific phase, tomatoes first and foremost. There’s also a letting go that happens, with colder days promising that whatever the present chaos, all will soon be put to bed. Find what you can, enjoy what you can, protect what you can. Whether it be time swinging while the kids are (finally!) back at school, long moments of your face turned to the sun with soft kisses of wind, or deeply inhaling the spicy aroma of tulsi basil as you pick another self-seeded sprig for cold-weather tea. These days feel gentle and endless, but also urgent and precious.
