Wisdom from the Garden of Life
A Journal for Reflections and Gratitude
Nature is such a wealth of wisdom and inspiration, and gardeners are especially so in tune with the many lessons it can teach. Last year, we asked the GardensAll Facebook Community to share lessons they'd learned from Nature.
So many people sent in awesome quotes… so we created 'The Wisdom Journal: Nature is the Best Classroom'. People who never imagined becoming published, can now see their contributions within the pages and image in the Wisdom Journal.
Journaling is a wonderful way to stop and reflect on the wonder of nature and life's many blessings. Our lessons learned become wisdom that has value for someone else who might see it at the right time and place. This is a journal to document your wisdom from nature and reflect over the awe and inspiration life has to offer.
We are an online gardening publication sharing all things garden related! Including urban farming, family gardening, homesteading, gardening for profits, and more. We're all about growth!
