A Little Bit of the Garden

I am always struck by  how peaceful the atmosphere is when you go into the garden.   Sunshine, beautiful colours and scents, and birds singing provide me with a virtual shot in the arm. My mind is immediately calmed by a sensory bombardment of natural smells and sounds and visuals that would override any busy brain. I feel energized yet peaceful.  I guess that is what they mean by garden therapy! And the wildlife, if you look for it, gives you a glimpse into an often unseen world of nature.
