“But there is purpose in the darkness. Good things can happen if we pay attention.”

All I know is, time outside in my garden makes me happy, and I think the happiest moments are spent on my knees with my hands in the dirt.

Soil does many jobs. It anchors the roots, enabling plants to grow sturdy and tall. Soil holds moisture and nutrients that help feed the plants, and soil is a home for many creatures – those we can see and those we can’t. Creating the right environment encourages creatures that benefit a garden.
