Life will find a way. As gardeners, we are stewards to the spaces we have. These can be small spaces, lush spaces, even a concrete apron at a home we rent. All of these spaces can be transformed with pots, plantings, and fostering that space to allow for life to thrive.
By holding space for life, we create space for life to take root. In turn, that life will hold space for us. When the flowers bloom, it gives us colour to feed our souls even as it feeds the pollinators that will go on to produce honey, new fruit, and produce in our garden and elsewhere.
The few pots in a corner of a balcony may not seem like much compared to carefully curated pictures on social media. But each new bud that emerges is yours to enjoy, to marvel at. The smells from the blossoms, the fluttering of butterflies, all these are real, present, and a reminder that even small beauties are a satisfying wonder.
