Article ~ 'Gardening as a Hobby'

   "Do you love to do Gardening?"

~ By Gurpreet Kaur ~


" The love of gardening is a seed once sown that never dies."

                                       - Gertrude Jekyll

Many of you love mowing your garden, trimming the hedge. How amazing feeling it is when your sown seed germinates & turned into a sapling. It's delicate green leaves breaths fresh life. You water it with your hands. Add manure time to time And within weeks/months it becomes a mature grown plant/tree with flowers and fruits. 



I remember my school days, how we spent our time in gardening activity. Frankly speaking, I don't personally like doing it. But we all students  have to do it as its a necessary activity to do and it has great  importance in our Co-curricular grades. Making flower beds with stones and bricks, tilling, weeding, planting and sowing, watering the plants, Uprooting undesired wild grass and plants, etc-etc. It seems endless. 


When I went to school for the first time after passing out 12th standard, the whole school was freshly covered with green charm. Those plants were grown to matured trees. It was very lovely sensation and eyes- satisfying too. 



Gardening as a hobby is a great spare time activity. It should be widely adopted. It's good for health and environment. A great pastime to soothe mind and soul. It provides sound mental health and you feel connected to the nature. This activity does'nt have any kind of  negative aspects, it's only spread positivity, warmth, pleasure & satisfaction. 

And how we can forget, Those-

Delicious, juicy fruits and lovely, colorful flowers......

Poetry ~ "I'm suffering from you " / Bhupender Singh

I'm suffering from you,  In the freezing winter, In the burning summer,  In the wet-ness of rain , In the dry-ness of Autumn,  I'm suffering from you,  Image credit : Unsplash In the soothing voice, In the disturbing noise,  Under the sunshine, Under the moonlight,  I'm suffering from you,  In the twittering of birds, In the flowing water,  I'm suffering from you,  You are everywhere,  In my heart, In my soul,  In the nature, In every creature,  That's why I'm suffering from you,  You are my pain..

Poetry ~ "Arrival of Death" / Gurpreet Kaur

It comes on its tip toes,  Making some unrecognisable  uneasiness in the surroundings.  Cause of aftermath is  just an illusion.        Image credit : Unsplash.com Ultimate goal is in full motion.  Within a blink, passiveness  spreads, silencing everything..  About the Poem   The poem is based on the unexpected arrival of death. The whole scene happens in a spontaneous movement.

Poetry ~ "Love is a Discovery" / Chelsea Stawicki

Sometimes I wish you were here, Waiting for that gentle touch my dear. I walk alone these misty roads to find what I had lost, Is my own body a prison as I am being covered in frost? The falling snow can bring a sense of hope like tiny stars, Falling from the sky I open my hands up to make me think if this is ours? I begin to think why I felt so hollow? Not only because of my sorrow. Am I just waiting for tomorrow? Maybe one day you and I can follow. Image credit : Unsplash At least I give you a smile, Even if you think it is worthwhile. You may not be here anymore, With your wings until you soar. A heart can be black like night, But a soul can guide you to the light. I always wanted to give you something special, To make it official. Whenever I think of you, I don’t just think it is something new, Because I know it is true, Each star is like you. A star in the sky, Those beautiful wings when you fly, Don’t be so shy, There’s nothing wrong with saying goodbye. Someday… I will fly with ...
