Our front meadow, dedicated to nature's wonders and now part of the World Garden.
Through Barbara Wolf at Global Meditations.com, a group of us at Spirithub.org heard about a project called the World Garden.
It seemed a special message, to learn of this new project at this time of year; the equinox, easter, passover, earth day all bundled up in this magical month of April. And so Our Enchanted Garden and others at Spirithub, have joined in to add our magic to the tapestry that will be created to assist the earth in healing and to assist humans in welcoming the natural world back into their lives! Read the following to learn about this interesting and ever expanding project. And thank you Barbara for beginning this new adventure!

Here's a copy of the message received from Barbara;
Hello from my heart, everyone.
Let us begin a World Garden.
You, from Sweden, Australia, Canada, Brazil, wherever you live, we can unify our efforts by weaving a tapestry, a grand world garden. Each of us weaves one piece.
There is a purpose behind this unifying effort.
Long ago Mother Earth was a perfect garden. There was a perfect blueprint for her. Then, fragmentation began and today the garden is far from perfect.
Let us turn the imperfect to the perfect.
We begin small; each of us making one piece of a world garden of perfection. We overlay our efforts, our tapestry, on the energies of imperfect Mother Earth. That is how we change the imperfect to the perfect.
Thoughts running between us is the cement, the unifying factor, that holds the weaving of the tapestry.
Everyone is eligible for this grand undertaking.
If you live in an apartment, you can designate one indoor plant, or all plants, as your piece of the tapestry we are creating.
When you are thinking of your garden, no matter how small or how large, think in terms of perfection, think in terms of Love, the strongest of all energies.
Thought is energy.
Like attracts like.
Your blueprint of perfection joins with my blueprint of perfection to weave a grand tapestry of perfection.
I want to tell you a little story. One year ago, I was staying at a large palace on the Gulf of Finland that had been renovated by the Russian government for conferences and speaker accommodations. Beside this renovated palace was another palace that remained untouched since being destroyed by bombs during World War II. The violence within the vibrations of that destroyed place was unsettling. It was strange to encounter this.
A short walk away was a very large glass-covered conservatory for growing plants. This, too, remained as it was 60 years ago. The glass ceiling was shattered. Some glass was still hanging from framework, but most of the glass was in small shards scattered over the conservatory plants.
I was there during the month of May when the plants were beginning their yearly cycle of growth, just as they had been doing 60 or more years ago. Interestingly, concrete steps near the palace had the year 1910 carved on them, nearly one hundred years ago, and so I knew many plants hadbeen growing a very long time here. It was sad seeing the plants covered with glass shards as they began their yearly cycle of growth. Each plant, and there were hundreds of them, was attempting to grow into the perfection expected of them from the blueprint of Nature.
Today our world garden called Mother Earth may not have shattered glass for the plants to ignore as they grow, but there are many other defects. Let us, in our own way, piece by piece, begin repairing the damage.
Write me about your garden. I will put excerpts on the website for all to read. This is another way to unify our efforts.
Also, I envision having a family garden album on the website so you can send me a photograph of your garden. This photograph will be with photographs of other gardens to reinforce our thoughts that we are working on a world garden tapestry of perfection for our planet.

If you're not sure about gardening or you'd like to spruce up that yard or corner of your property, perhaps you want to create your own garden in a small planter; come by to A Forum For Nature and see if there's information for you, post a question if there isn't, or add your own special expertise to the group, even if just to say hello and enjoy the information exchanged.
You are welcome and please do consider yourself; Invited!
a piece of a poem taken from luckydragon 's post on February 3rd;
the world requires the room to grow
to change, to flower to reap and sow
our natural world gives the keys to solutions
our world is the product of our mass resolutions
The poem was a method to work through thoughts regarding recent "cartoon" protests and the wide range of emotions being displayed throughout the world. Having been able to move through my own "feelings" about the issue I particularly found this part of the poem so very promising and I hope others too can see through the smoke screens and appreciate what's really going on in our world.
Humans are evolving! Incredible as that may seem when you look around your own neighborhood or watch the news. There really is something happening here and what it is, is exactly clear! It will take patience and understanding to allow the development to come through but there is no doubt in my mind that it will. The debate over free speech, over sensitivity to others feelings, over how one "deals with" one's own feelings, over freedom. over democracy, over religious beliefs, over any beliefs that may be held fondly by anyone, that debate is "in process" and how we come through this will determine where and how our world will develop from here.
The poem makes the point that our natural world is change. And points to our natural world for the solutions. This is very much in line with the Rainbow way. When radicals of any belief system begin to see the folly of their ways there will be great change in the world we know. Our world will then be allowed it's own freedom and will be allowed to change and develop and move forward with us in our evolution.
Can it be understood that the world has been hostage to our limited and limiting belief systems for far too long? Can the connections between upheavals in society as well as weather pattens and volcanic activities be seen as the earth's attempt to adjust in a world that won't accept change?
If life is change, does it make sense to desperately hold onto beliefs that were developed three thousand years ago? Somehow, it seems to me, old beliefs need to adjust to a current view of the world! And it's not just my opinion, it just appears that this is the natural way of things that we all need to adopt somehow.
I don't wish to suggest all beliefs be thrown by the wayside or that they are not useful. I do wish to suggest that we do ourselves much good by allowing things to grow from one thing to another, to evolve and to continue on in a new light. This natural pattern of existence is interfered with when we don't allow ourselves and our society the "space to grow".
Even in the so-called "new world" there is a tendancy for people to want things to remain the same, to be predictable and reliable. The natural world teaches us this is not the way of the world and yet we continue to try to draw lines across the continent to mark "borders" that nature can't see and protect "institutions" that nature will not acknowledge. Well the borders are questionable at best, and even with borders - things still come and go. The institutions continue their struggle to survive but will finally fall by the wayside when people begin to accept that they are the one's who must take on the responsibility of caring for their neighbors and their world. The institutions will fall or they will change. Static they cannot be for much longer - the natural world simply cannot tolerate such impossible demands!
Darwin studied evolution and understood something special goes on here on this wonderous earth on which we live. Perhaps his theories will get updated soon - our world is the product of cooperation between all the species and elements that are present - not as the result of competition as is commonly believed. Still we always should remember it is only a theory and while it may seem plausible it may not be fact!
However I don't think anyone can dispute the changes that occur, that each of us experience every day. Perhaps we can work toward becoming masters of change instead of trying to be keepers of a "status quo" that simply will not be held static.
What we can create as a "new normal" is limited only by our imaginations! The natural world is opening the door and encouraging us all to use our creative abilities and create a world healthier and happier than anything we've experienced here before!
