Welcome to BEAUTY GROWS HOPE. What could be better than soaking in all the glorious plants and the world of beauty that surrounds us? I am a stage 4 cancer survivor and I garden to STAY WELL, to CULTIVATE WONDER, and because BEAUTY HELPS. I will talk about all of these - and how we listen to our lives and to our gardens. As we start tinkering with plants I want you to also remember the PLANTS ARE ON YOUR SIDE. You aren't growing alone - its a partnership and the plants are on your team - truly think about it - with every cell in their being they want to live! My cats are named Brave (white calico) and Bean (striped Tabby) and they are indoor/ outdoor cats and love to "help me" garden so you will meet them too! Let's make some gardening magic!
