Why I Love to Garden

By , About.com Guide

It seemed like a simple question for a writing contest - tell us why you love to garden. There certainly was no problem getting responses. But how can you judge who loves gardening most and whose reason for it is better? You can't.

Rather than arbitrarily picking a winner, we've decided to share all their enchanting tales. These stories are from members of our forum, Over the Garden Gate. They are from all over the world, but they share a passion for gardening, a joy in its wonder, gratitude for being able to be a part of it and a sense of peace, spirituality and shear humbleness from its lessons. I hope you enjoy reading them and find a little bit of yourself in their words.

For another dose of inspiration or to add some of your own, take a look at what gave other folks their passion for gardening and tell us about what or who got your started.
