ADVICE FROM A GARDEN
Cultivate lasting friendships.
Sow seeds of kindness.
Listen to sage advice.
Don’t let the little things bug you.
Be outstanding in your field.
Take thyme for yourself.
No vining!
Eat the rainbow every day
for optimal health.
I have a long stem. I have yellow petals. People eat my seeds.
I have thorns on my stem. My petals can be many colors. I smell very pretty.
I have flat leaves. I drop acorns. I am very tall.
I am green. People step on me. I get cut.
There is a green house. Inside the green house there is a White house. Inside the White house there is a red house. Inside the red house there are lots of babies. What am I?
You throw away the outside and cook the inside. Then you eat the outside and throw away the inside. What did you eat?
ALOE Aloe! How are you? … CORN I know it’s corny, but you are a-maize-ing
DILL You’re kind of a big dill … LAVENDER Live a life full of joy and laugh-vender
MINT Do you need some encourage-mint … THISTLE Thistle be the best day ever
THYME Long thyme no see
A. I enhance blood flow to the eyes. The pupil, iris and radiating lines look like the human eye.
B. I am heart and blood food. I am red with four chambers.
C. I am heart and blood food. I hang in a cluster and have the shape of a heart.
D. I help develop neuron-transmitters for brain function. I have two halves with wrinkles and folds like the neo-cortex.
E. I help kidney function.
F. I target bone strength by replenishing the skeletal needs of the body. Bones are 23% sodium and I have 23% sodium. If you don’t have enough sodium in your diet, the body pulls it from the bones, thus making them weak.
G. I look like the pancreas and balance the glycemic index of diabetics.
H. I look like the body’s cells and help clear waste materials from all of the body cells. I produce tears which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes.
First, you come to the garden alone, While the dew is still on the roses.
For the garden of your daily living …
Plant three rows of peas: 1. Peace of mind / 2. Peace of heart / 3. Peace of soul
Plant four rows of squash: 1. Squash gossip / 2. Squash indifference / 3. Squash grumbling / 4. Squash selfishness
Plant four rows of lettuce: 1. Let us be faithful / 2. Let us be kind / 3. Let us be patient / 4. Let us love one another
No garden is without turnips: 1. Turn up for meetings / 2. Turn up for service / 3. Turn up to help one another
To conclude our garden we must have thyme: 1. Time for each other / 2. Time for family / 3. Time for friends
Water freely with patience and cultivate with love.
There is much fruit in your garden because you reap what you sow.
