“The greatest gift of the garden is the restoration of the five senses.” ~Hanna Rion
There is no doubt that human beings have become far removed from the natural world. It could be that this separation from nature is a root cause of many of society’s problems. When we deny ourselves access to the natural world, we lose a part of ourselves, our culture, and our sanity. Want to get it back? One of the simplest ways to reconnect with nature is to dig right in and grow something.

Lately I’ve had a case of Spring and now nearing Summer fever for flowers and all things related to gardening for the soul. While my Garden Rants have focused on increasing indoor air quality with plants, let’s now take a look outdoors with a site like You Grow Girl, 
dedicated to making things bloom with grace! Featuring all kinds of organic gardening ideas and resources such as Abundant Life Seed Company which is a non-profit that preserves the genetic diversity of plants by growing and distributing open-pollinated certified organic (or with the biodynamic method of farming) seeds to home and community gardeners everywhere.
YGG has been inspiring healthy gardeners for almost a decade now with what they describe as a “contemporary, laid-back approach to gardening that places equal importance on environmentalism, style, affordability, art, and humour.”
