Benefits Of A Flower Garden

Because flowers go in cycles of life and death, we can look to them as archetypes. The cycle is really closely related to the circle which is a very prominent archetype in the world today and the past. The other thing I think of when I hear the word flowers is gardens. When I looked for the garden archetype I found that gardens symbolize love and fertility (YourDictionary 2). Flowers and gardens also have many symbols associated with them depending on who you ask.

I hate gardening. I hate my clumsy fingers yanking out gentle roots or my waddling feet stepping on the precious flower petals. Gardening is not my cup of tea, but my mom loves it. She is always out in the sunshine, stroking on her roses, her chrysanthemums, and her grandeur section of herbs.

Even though the two gardens are different like how people are different they both give insight to what the gardeners are thinking. Even though the gardeners dictate what happens both are students when it comes to the master of nature mother nature herself. This reminder is shown when the had to replant “ some pines and cleaned the pond” even making a new bridge after a storm. This also shows that new beginnings are always possible. Just like in the book Matsu disappears when Stephen is young and had his secrets that were revealed “The garden is a word filled with secrets. Slowly, I see more each day.” (page 31, Tsukiyama) “A wooden bridge arched across its width, and lines of odd-shaped, water worn stones created two paths, one leading through the secluded garden right up to the front door, while the other disappeared around the back of the house.” (page 10, Tsukiyama) Gardens are integrated into Matsu and Sachi’s lives to enter into someone's life/home, first have to know the

Gardening is the activity of planting, cultivating and tending (Oxford dictionary 2015). The origins of gardening, and its fulfilment of a human need, date back to 1500bc where archaeologists discovered ancient paintings of opulent gardens by the Egyptians (Cellauro 2015). Recognition of the benefits of gardening as a therapeutic tool in occupational therapy date back to Hartwell (1933). It provides opportunities for social inclusion which is a central component in well-being (Grabbe et al 2013).

Pollination is essentially plant reproduction - without help from animal pollinators, our everyday food supply would look much different

- Wind: Wind-pollinated plants don't depend on the ability to attract birds or insects, so their flowers tend to be small, drab, unscented and non-prominent. Wind pollinated flowers are specially adapted to be able to make use of even slight air currents. They tend to have lots of small flowers with long filaments and pistils. Anthers and stigmata often project from the flower in order to be exposed to the wind so that pollen can be sent out and received easily.

To bring all these ideas together, it could be read that the garden is a description of her childhood, filled with innocence, purity, good memories, all sorts of beautiful things that blocked her view of the world outside. replacing the garden with grass is a way of showing that she needs to let go of these things in order to live a life with potential for something greater.

6. Plant flowers. Plant marigolds, mums, asters, dahlias, and zinnias in your garden. Why? These plants will attract insects that will prey on aphids. Their natural predators include ladybugs, parasitic wasps, and

The Chinese garden at the Huntington Library was an extravagant garden. The Chinese garden included water, rocks, plants, architecture, and arts. The Chinese garden created multiple feelings. The flowers in the garden provided a special feeling to the season. The water creates a feeling of a forever ongoing life and the rocks a neutral balance in the surrounding environment. The arts created a feeling that encourages people to look for the literary, philosophical, and artistic traditions of China. The arts created an experience of bringing the historical arts to the people. The empty spaces that were in the garden provided the feeling of spaciousness and uncluttered calm. The texture of the rocks also created the feeling of timelessness and dignity. The Chinese garden had straight walkways or zigzagged pathways. The architecture of the Chinese garden can be felt that it was man made. The architecture has a lot of colors and is very intricate. The buildings look very artificial and formal. The landscape in the Chinese garden is more rustic and has a more natural feeling to it.

When it comes to the yards, majority are created from a combination of cactuses and gravel, this means low maintenance unlike having to maintain green grass. It also has its own unique sort of beauty.

The role of gardens play a much more important role in Japan than here in the United States. This is due primarily to the fact the Japanese garden embodies native values, cultural beliefs and religious principles. Perhaps this is why there is no one prototype for the Japanese garden, just as there is no one native philosophy or aesthetic. In this way, similar to other forms of Japanese art, landscape design is constantly evolving due to exposure to outside influences, mainly Chinese, that effect not only changing aesthetic tastes but also the values of patrons. In observing a Japanese garden, it is important to remember that the line between the garden and the landscape that surrounds it is not separate. Instead,

Before I read this chapter, my understanding of garden is a resting place with flowers and bushes that surrounding by fence. Instead of flowers and bushes, homeless garden is build by largely random materials, such as toys and milk carton. It is not a traditional garden. In additional, it is a place of repose for homeless people or we can say it is temporary home for homeless people. Their home is deliberately constructed because homeless people want to live comfortably. That is why we called it garden.

Luther Burbank once said, “Flowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful; they are sunshine, food and medicine for the soul.”

Bees aren 't the only insect pollinators in the world, but they are by far the most widespread ones. Despite this, non-bee insect pollinators have a contributing factor to the success of pollination that the bees themselves don 't. There have been studies on the success of the pollination and 'seeding ' of flowers and plants. Bees have a fairly average success rate, focusing more on spreading the pollination farther afield than the success of the 'seeding '. Non-bee insects tend to stay in a small ranged area that allows them to visit the same flowers more often, thus increasing the success of their visits.
