About Our Group

When we were young gardeners, our days would quickly melt into nights as we amended, weeded, plotted, planned, and planted our gardens. Aches and pains could be soothed soaking in a hot tub at night followed by restful sleep that allowed us to repeat the process again the next day. We dreamed of more plants and more land – there would never be enough. It was a way of life that we would never dream of leaving behind.

We are now all at least sixty years old - a group of passionate gardeners with a more realistic approach to our gardening. We do not want to let it all go, but we feel the need to get it under control. Our bodies do not heal overnight. We take breaks and quit before dark. As a group, we share our experiences, learn from each other, and provide mutual support and encouragement to continue to enjoy gardening through our golden years.

Membership is limited at our monthly meetings. Those on our waiting list can visit this site and keep up with our group discussions. This Blog will continue to be refined over time – just like us!

AUGUST IN THE RESER LABYRINTH





 
 
Thanks to Jane Coombs, our group was able to visit this private spiritual site rarely accessible to the public. It was designed and executed by the owner for her own therapy in overcoming a life altering illness. We felt privileged and honored to be allowed to visit such a beautiful and peaceful place. 
 
 
 
 
 
Taking the journey slowly and methodically allowed time to notice many little nuances and treasures, with obvious special personal meaning, tucked in here and there. Watching fellow creatures going about their daily routines became an ethereal experience.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Through these pictures, I hope you will mentally walk along the path, pause to reflect, and enjoy the peaceful journey.
 







I loved the words Donna sent with these pictures: "Just a few photos of a lovely and peaceful hour in the Reser Spiritual Labyrinth Garden". Sometimes we forget how the simple things in life can bring such intense peace and pleasure if we pause long enough just to notice.  Thank you, Donna, for capturing these memories and sharing with us. Thank you, Jane, for the opportunity to know this beautiful place.
