While we generally avoid vegetable gardening (the squirrels make it far to difficult for any reasonable success), our recent quarterly Pet Therapy newsletter included this recipe for planting a successful ‘life’ garden that we thought we’d share.

Recipe for the Garden of Life

Plant Three Rows of Peas:

• Peace of Mind
• Peace of Heart
• Peace of Soul

Plant Four Rows of Squash:

• Squash Gossip
• Squash Indifference
• Squash Grumbling
• Squash Selfishness

Plant Four Rows of Lettuce:

• Lettuce be Faithful
• Lettuce be Kind
• Lettuce be Patient
• Lettuce Really Love One Another

No Garden is Complete Without Turnips:

• Turnip for Meetings
• Turnip for Service
• Turnip to Help One Another

To Conclude the Garden, We Must Have Thyme:

• Thyme for Each Other
• Thyme for Family
• Thyme for Friends

Water freely with patience and cultivate with love.

Here’s hoping  your garden is exactly what you cultivated and sowed.

Live, love, bark! <3
