Walking Through The Garden
Posted by: From Arkansas in Just Stuff, My Take on Things, Odds And Ends on Oct 05 2007
Welcome back!
When I was still at home in Iowa where I grew up, the city had a beautiful park, called Vander Veer Botanical Park, that had flower shows, a place where they had bedded flowers everywhere and greenhouses that you could visit and see the wonders of life in what I would consider to be the garden of life.
It was so fragrant and awesomely beautiful. They had some extremely rare flowers and plants but I was interested in the ones I could recognize like roses and carnations. That was because I was still in my teens and had not yet begun to appreciate the wonder of God’s creation. The beds were filled with such color and perfume. It looked like a paint factory had exploded into all sorts of drips of this and that. The multicolored blooms fascinated me every time I saw that place. It was one of the few things I regret not seeing again after I left that town.
