Ten
Ways to Enjoy Your Little Garden on Your Balcony, Deck, or Terrace
1. Get out there! Seriously,
stroll on out. Print this page out, then GET AWAY FROM THE COMPUTER.
2. Take a deep breath
and take in all the wonderful scents of your garden. (Don't forget
to exhale!)
3. Stretch! Listen carefully...can
you hear the birds behind the noise of the traffic? Or traffic behind
the noise of the birds?
4. Have a picnic or barbecue.
Just pick up that plate, and carry that piece of toast right outside
the door. Think less about the crumbs and more about the view. If
it's winter, bring a thermos.
5. Bring a few friends
to your garden. Have a party. Carry your cat out to join you in
admiring the view.
6. Snip some fresh herbs
and veggies from your garden and whip up a tasty snack.
7. Do a little Shakesphere.
Read aloud at night, then sleep outside and read quietly to yourself
first thing in the morning.
8. Lift one hand and
wave to the crowd. Smile, turn 60 degrees, and wave again. Step
forward and thoughtfully address your surroundings as if you were
a) The Pope, b) Julius Caesar, or c) Evita Peron.
9. Go back inside and
buy some stuff from us.
10. Garden!
