Gardening has taught me many lessons about living and growing. The Garden of Life employs plants and plans that are ways to create a life worth living. How to lean not on the appearances but on an inner conversation with God. By design the plants and plans have a message to encourage our faith and continuing learning about life and increasing our beliefs.
Garden of Life is a Walk by Faith
