Amazing nature: be enthralled by these photos of incredible transformations and surprises
Growing plants and tending gardens is a therapeutic activity, and there are countless studies to prove this. But more convincing than any scientific publication are the testimonies of people - and even better the direct experience they have to bear witness to this fascinating truth. The constant and patient care of a potted plant or of a large piece of land, is sufficient to help combat stress and channel energy into a worthwhile activity. And the satisfaction of seeing your efforts pay off is very satisfying.
In an online community of gardening enthusiasts, from beginners to more experienced people, you can discover some very interesting stories, and scroll through testimonies of how amazing nature can be. You will find some of these below:
This is the transformation achieved in two years of constant work by a person who wanted to start their life over, putting a tough past life behind him: "I stopped drinking, and I developed an addiction to something which is much healthier. I transformed the garden all by myself, and in the meantime, I have also transformed myself ".
Another story of rebirth: this is the garden of the first home ever owned by a person with (one might say) a stormy past. This is how it looks four years after settling into his new home. "It's nice to bring all this new life into the world."
A mini greenhouse made entirely of recycled material: glass jars are used to create the walls, "I plug the holes and gaps with empty bottles of nail polish and moss".
This is a corner of paradise that a man in Vietnam has been able to create in the middle of a city: a truly amazing hanging garden!
When nature wants to amaze us with its tenacity: "Of all the melon flowers that the bees could pollinate, they chose the one that had blossomed in the crack of this wall".
Stating that having a "golf" course-type lawn at home is a bad choice for the environment is a truism. But maybe discovering that you can use beautiful and more natural alternatives such as these, is far better!
A truly unexpected discovery while setting up the garden: "Obviously I was wrong, and I had planted tomatoes right next to some rabbit burrows!". Yes, those are baby rabbits in the unnoticed burrow.
Even a single rose plant can become a spectacle of nature: "My mother planted these climbing roses around the patio in her garden when I got married 7 years ago - the marriage is over, but the roses are doing fine."
Have you ever noticed moss growing on the side of some road or in a parking lot? There are those who have had the idea of collecting it up, little by little, and here is the result. These are beautiful flower beds that require only minimal maintenance.
A neglected rose wanted to get noticed - by forming its flowers in the shape of a heart.
The dark clouds are "the world at the moment", while the man in the foreground is any of us "looking after our garden so as not to lose our minds". It's one of those memes that really hits the mark!
