Recommended: My gardening experience Essay

On November 4, 2017, I went to Mrs. Oei’s house to see her backyard garden. We both agreed on viewing her garden since she has a big green thumb and brings the most elaborate flower arrangements to Sunday church. As I approached her front door, I heard the fierce barking of her dog. She opened the door and allowed her dog to smell my mom, the photographer, then we entered her house. Mrs. Oei’s garden was beauty sprouting from every corner of her backyard. First, we observed her lemon, lime, apple, and persimmon trees. Next, we moved on to all the colorful flowers. There were a countless number of flowers, but Mrs. Oei was an expert on identifying them. Half of them I have never heard of. Then, we looked at her pungent smelling herbs and peppers.

  • We Must Cultivate Our Garden Analysis

    While the ending of Candide was relatively inconclusive, I found it satisfactory as a reader that the author practiced what he preached. Voltaire ridiculed Leibniz for constantly theorizing, never offering solutions. On the contrary, Voltaire debunked Leibniz's theory throughout Candide, and offered a resolution of how to deal with reality; cultivate the garden. To cultivate your own garden put simply is to do what is best for you, through logic and reason, without dwelling philosophically. The advice from the dervish and old man is sound advice, to render life bearable it is wise to work with what you are given, rather than contemplate the purpose behind everything.

  • Dai-Yu In Dream Of The Red Chamber

    Without her friends to spend an idle life with, this becomes apparent to her, and the garden becomes a chamber where painful reminders of being left behind while the world grows older around her echo. In fact, Dai-yu notices that “[t]he garden outside, which had always been such a haven of quiet and solitude, now seemed alive with sounds – the wind, insects buzzing, birds chattering … all of which drifted in through the window and set her nerves on edge” (74). The sounds of the wind, for example, are not never absent. Rather, it was Dai-yu’s vulnerable state from knowing that the community she had built with her friends was being intruded upon by the responsibilities of adulthood that makes her come to notice the sounds of the garden that probably have always been there. The garden has largely been the same, but her perception of the garden has

    Roses are present in the garden, as they are “the only flowers that impress people” (Mansfield 2581). Mrs. Sheridan orders so many lilies that Laura think it must be a mistake, saying “nobody ever ordered so many” (Mansfield 2584). Satterfield says, “the flower imagery throughout the story serves to keep the reader reminded of the delicacy of Laura’s world. The flowers are splendid, beautiful, and-what is not stated- short-lived.” He goes on to say that Laura “can see only the beauty and not the dying of the flower, and she cannot see that, in many ways, she is very much like a flower herself.” The delicate life of the Sheridan’s is one that must come to an end. It is beautiful like the flowers, but also like the flowers, it will eventually die. As Darrohn puts it, “the Sheridans operate under the illusion that their easy life is natural… rather than produced through others’ labor.” This idea too can be illustrated by the flowers in the story. The roses that fill the gardens are the work of the gardeners who have “been up since dawn” (Mansfield 2581). It seems to Laura that “hundreds, yes, literally hundreds [of roses] had come out in a single night… as though visited by archangels” (Mansfield 2581). The reader can see through the flowers that the Sheridans have a rose-colored view of how their lifestyle

  • Romantic Nature Setting

    We took off down a path covered softly with moss and tiny pink flowers. Off to the side of the path were endless green trees and pants all nestled together to make one beautiful piece of art. After a while, we reached a sparkling, clear brook. It was about twelve feet deep and nearly three feet deep. The path wound right along side the water. Down the brook a ways, we came to a deep water hole where the fish danced in the swirling current. I noticed the brook was beginning to flow a little faster now, and I could hear the steady, rushing noise of the water falling over the cliffs that lied ahead. We walked to the cliff's edge to look over at the crystal clear lagoon that lay below us. The falls dropped about thirty feet down before it met the pool of water below. To the sides of the waterfall were moss-covered rocks, ferns and other green plants, growing from the crevices of the cliffs.

Here where the air lays heavy and cool on my skin as does the striking rays of the sun upon my cheeks. I know in my soul why I choose to be here every day. Pocketed in all the nooks and crannies of these valleys and hills are stately homes, rich with architecture resplendent. Diversity is the palate here; ...

  • Gardening Essay

    Home gardens offer a wide variety of benefits to the environment and serve a diverse group of people. Home gardening provides a source of fresh produce and free of chemicals, it also gives you complete control over the chemicals and products used during the growing process. A home garden allows you to pick the produce when its ripe, unlike produce at the store is often picked before its fully ripe. The quality and flavor of the freshly picked produce from home is better than the produce that might have unknown chemicals and was likely picked several days or weeks before being sold. The produce retains more nutrients when consumed shortly after being picked, making your home garden vegetables a healthier option. A garden also provides a positive environmental impact. The compost allows you to recycle certain kitchen and yard waste into a nutrient-rich additive for the garden. This provides natural fertilizer for you plants and reduces the wastes you produce. If you choose to avoid or limit chemical use, you reduce pollution from your gardening activities. Besides being good for the environment gardens have environmental gains for us.

It was her standing in a yard with a house in the background.  It wasn't our house, and my mother looked like anyone but herself.  Dressed entirely in green, with green hair and a green expression on her green face, she stood in front of a green two-story house surrounded by a green landscape.  Green was her favorite color, and I wanted to make a surprise out of the drawing for her.
