My love of gardening stems from the biblical verse in John’s Gospel Chapter 15: “The Vine and the Branches.” This analogy tells of the gift that was passed to me genetically by my beloved mother the late Mrs. Sybil Coakley-Strachan who shared a similar gift.
Gardening has been my passion all of my life. I prefer plants rather than gifts of gold and rubies. I choose rich soil to cultivate plants that I share with love among my family and friends. As this is the commandment of the Lord: to love each other as he has loved us is so clear in my daily life.
It’s with these thoughts that I continue my passion for gardening as I remain cognizant of my rich roots and heritage.
