I love your approach to your garden! I also just let anything to grow in my backyard, and it became a pollinator garden ... I live in the desert where few plants grow, so I figured years ago that if a plant had the strength to grow in our soil, I should encourage it. I noticed, like you, that I learned the names of the plants that grew willingly in my yard. And we watch bees, birds, butterflies, and bats come to our yard... Thank you fro this post! It makes me feel less alone with my "weed garden". I also love The Little Prince; I think it's one of the best books ever written.
Thank you, Emese. It's wonderful to hear from someone who has taken a similar approach to their garden and who understands the powerful effects this can have--not only on the natural world around us, but also on ourselves!
Lovely read! I appreciate your connection with your environment. My partner and I live on our sailboat and travel the Atlantic and the Caribbean. We can relate to the notion of slow travel and how much we can suddenly see and hear when we half our pace.
I'm glad you liked the post, Egor. How fascinating that you live on a sailboat! You must have many stories to tell about the places you have been and the peole you have met.
Ireland is full of amazing beauty, so it is well worth the trip to visit. But connection to nature can take place wherever we live. Even if we "tame" just one plant--like the Little Prince's rose.
I love the conversation with the plants, the delicate photos, and how your immersion into the Irish countryside is shaping and shifting your horizons. Beautiful.
I looooove the idea of letting nature run wild, so refreshing opposed to well-curated gardens with varying heights, textures, colours - letting nature decide what grows where - that's EPIC! 💜🧡
Thank you, Mohika! I will write another post--probably in July--when the showiest flowers are in full bloom--to illustrate what our garden looks like now.
We planted pollinators on our three acres. Then added bee hives. It is unbelievable how happy they are. Now I’ll have to learn all the names of everything and see what comes back next year. Thank you for the encouragement.

Connection to nature is so important! I have always wanted to make the trip out to Ireland

I greatly enjoyed hearing your conversations with the natural world, which has so much to tell us when we listen as closely as you do.
Thank you, Allan.

So beautiful Clarice ❤️ I feel the love you have for your husband in this too. ☺️
Thank you, Brenna!
How exciting it must be to discover new treasures each year that have decided to join your garden! They are certainly beautiful.
It is! And each one is so beautiful in its own way.

You're welcome! Have fun.
