Wandering through bustling cities, seeing the finishing touch of roadside landscaping, a sense of happiness arises spontaneously; strolling through quiet villas, seeing stretches of hardscape and wrought-iron railings running through them, a feeling of regret is beyond words.

Perhaps, garden styles are countless,

Perhaps, popular elements emerge endlessly,

Perhaps, flowers and plants are not easy to care for,

But the gardening feel is still a corner a garden cannot easily give up......

Gardens and Sentiment

I once read an article, and the article said:

A person travels to the edge of the world, experiencing countless unbelievable beautiful sights,

He came back and said: I cannot forget folding a pinwheel from cigarette paper as a child,

Stuck in the cracks of a big tree,

The pinwheel whistled in the wind, and happiness soared along with it, without end,

He wants a big tree standing in the wind.

A person reads ten thousand books,

He came back and said: In books he found a golden house, found a beautiful woman,

But could not find: sitting on a stone bench under a pomegranate tree on a summer night,

Listening to his old-fashioned grandmother tell ancient tales.

Although the old grandmother has passed away, he still wants a big tree.

A person cannot persuade his parents, who have farmed and fished idly their whole lives,

To live together with him; he wants a garden, not only with flowers,

But also hoping for fields, vegetables, and crops,

So that his parents, who cannot stay idle, will stay.

A person likes only one kind of flower, perhaps Chinese rose,

Or rose, or lilac, or rose; more is too much;

Some people like only one color, either cool or warm,

Or quiet or noisy; less is good, he wants to live in simplicity.

Flowers and plants give the garden a rich gardening feel,

Surrounded by flowers and plants, every garden is endowed with deep sentiment,

Every sentiment carries an old story,

In the story there are not only spring flowers and autumn moon, but also joys and sorrows.

Plant the story in your own garden, and let it take root, sprout, and bloom with the spring breeze.

Gardens and Life

Lin Qingxuan's prose tells us:

Once you have a garden, you will understand that a few roses cut from the garden cannot do without water,

If dehydrated too long, they will wilt,

If the whole plant is soaked in water, in less than 20 minutes, they all puff out their chests.

It turns out that just like roses, people must live with their heads held high,

It requires more wisdom; one should soak a dried-out mind in the cool water of wisdom.

Once you have a garden, you will understand that almost all white flowers are very fragrant,

The more brightly colored the flower, the more it lacks fragrance,

People are the same; the simpler and more innocent a person is, the more inner fragrance they have.

Once you have a garden, you will understand that night-blooming jasmine is actually very fragrant during the day too,

It is just that few people can smell it, because during the day people are worn out by rushing about,

And cannot smell the fragrance of night-blooming jasmine,

If a person's heart is also quiet during the day,

They will discover that night-blooming jasmine and osmanthus are fragrant even at the hottest noon.

Once you have a garden, you will understand that lotus flowers blooming in the early morning are the loveliest,

Because if the lotus does not open in the morning, it may not open at noon or in the evening.

Looking at people is the same; if a person has no ambition when young,

They rarely have ambition in middle or old age either.

Once you have a garden, you will understand that the more beautiful the flower, the easier it withers,

Only to prove to people: cherish youth,

Because youth is the most precious flower, and the easiest to wither.

A garden with a gardening feel is a carrier filled with stories,

It guards your innocence, holds your sentiments,

And tells you the philosophy of life.

The simpler the place, the more mysteries it hides;

The purer the existence, the more philosophy it contains;

I hope there is a tranquil secret garden, letting you rest,

And in all the ordinary things, comprehend the deepest and most wondrous wisdom.
