I used to plant flowers and a garden with my mom. When she was no longer able to do it physically she would sit in her chair and guide me as to where everything should be planted. We would sit by the garden enjoying many summer evenings. She passed away in February. I’m missing her even more now.

Both my mum & my sister loved gardening & spent hours in the garden tending to it. I don’t have there talent but just love sitting in it to enjoy all the hard work that our lovely gardener puts into it. Spring always makes me think of my mum & happy times.

I can understand how you feel. I' still ion my mum's house and tend her garden.

During he last two years i bought her some new rose bushes and she helped me plan them.

This yea i planted size more and think of her whenever i water them. I hope she's with me when i learn how to prune them.

Lovely story thx

I’m sure she is with you while pruning them. That’s why I still want to keep planting my mama’s garden…
