February 2026
"Gardening is the slowest of all the performing arts. It is where you truly learn that to love a thing is to give it time."
This quote speaks to the profound love we have for nurturing life in our gardens. It reminds us that our deepest connections—whether with the soil, a seedling, or the changing seasons—require patience and dedication. The true joy of gardening isn't just in the harvest, but in the quiet, consistent act of tending, teaching us that love is, above all, an investment of time.
For the Love of Gardening
Welcome to February, dear gardeners, growers, and lovers of all things green.
February is often wrapped in roses and chocolates, but for those of us who garden, love shows up a little differently. It’s in the quiet care of tending soil, the patience of waiting for seeds to sprout, and the joy of nurturing life—day by day. This month invites us to slow down and reconnect with what we love most about gardening.

Gardening is more than planting seeds—it’s a practice rooted in survival, resistance, innovation, and community.

Why do we love gardening?
From tiny seeds to thriving greens, every moment in the garden is a story of patience, care, and joy.
For me, gardening is deeply fulfilling because it allows me to witness growth in its purest form. Starting with a tiny seed and, through patience and care, seeing it transform into a thriving plant is incredibly rewarding. It’s a reminder that with consistent attention, life flourishes, and being part of that process brings a sense of purpose and quiet joy.
