Spring has Sprung:
To me Spring is about shaking off the winter, taking action on my desires and spending more time in the gardens. It is the time of year in nature that the daylight and dark are about equal, the
Spring equinox, we just passed it on the 23 of September here in
Southeast Australia, natures official start of Spring. Metaphysically it is all about balance. Releasing outdated patterns, Emotional, Mental, Physical and Spiritual alignment, feeling balanced and restored.
In my last newsletter I said we moved to Candelo, a small Village in the Bega Valley. Even though it is not a huge block it had 15 meters of raised garden beds around half the house. After living in rental houses for quite a few years I was thrilled to have space for organic vegetables again.
In my 30’s I attended a course at Oregon State University called Master Gardeners, my Aunt Afton was in the first class and I loved her garden, when we visited there I followed her around asking question after question about how she had such a beautiful garden and Her veggies tasted so fantastic! The carrots were so sweet and the tomatoes and strawberries had true flavours. My Grandmother Imel also shared her knowledge of Herbs and fragrant plants with me when I was young. I always had an affinity with fragrant plants, at one time I had 300 fragrant herbs and flowers in my garden. In the mid 1980’s I wrote a computer program for the Master Garden course that covered 220 herbs how to grow and use them.
How gardening can heal: after my cancer journey, I started a Lavender Nursery, we also shared a big veggie garden with my Farther-In Law at the time. It was my Sanctuary I recovered my strength, it lifted my heart and helped me fall in Love with my life again. There is evidence that gardening does just that for people, a Psychologist Jill Taylor had a questionnaire for clients seeking answers on which therapies helped the most, ‘mindfulness gardening and walking in green spaces were voted as most effective.’ I have seen this in my practice, nature bring us into balance our Mental, Spiritual and Physical bodies. Gardening can be a healing hug around broken and bruised Hearts. I encourage my clients to reconnect with nature, take walks barefoot and even if you are in an apartment you can grow some plants, they are alive and connect with you. I had a whole radio program recently about the Secret Life of Plants.
Spring is the best time to plant a garden no matter how small. In today’s world and the chaos of the weather adding to the uncertainty of food security, we are already experiencing this at the grocery store. If you don’t have space where you live there are lots of people and community gardens that share space for others to
grow veggies. Check out your local community notice boards, ask around you will find someplace to get your hands dirty and your body will reward you for it.
Plant of the Month Primrose:
I went on a journey to the Deva of the Primrose, she met me on the trail amongst yellow primroses that were carpeting the forest floor. When she appeared the sun rays shined through the forest, she had yellow primroses in her hair. I asked what her message was for this time in human history “She said she helps us start over after changes and challenges, a fresh start, new beginnings. Be kind to yourself, treat yourself as you would a small child that is dependent on you. You are Loved, Love yourself more. Thank you for asking,” she bowed and disappeared. I have many books on the meaning or energies of plants, I had not read any on Primrose before my journey. Some of these books match what She told me. In the Language of Flower A book of Victorian Floral Sentiments by Kathleen M. Gips
She writes ‘Have confidence in me’ (1833) early youth (1835); a young girl passing from childhood to youth
In The Encyclopaedia of Flower Remedies:
Primrose: Loosens energy blockages
Primrose: Lightness to ones inner child. Primrose can gently nurture a crushed Spirit bringing comfort, hope and release. It is as if you can start anew, pure and refreshed to life.
Primrose: Cultivates an appreciation of relationships and an acceptance of Love.
Primrose is one of the first flowers that appear after winter in the perennial flower bed. New beginnings, fresh start — beginning of Spring.
