Filling In The Emptiness
Mid-June reveals the remaining empty spaces in the Garden.

Happy Spring!By June, foresightful gardeners are in love with all their plants. The relationship between plant and care taker is by now in full swing of development. In many ways, the relationship becomes less complex; the plant is now able to take care of itself in ways that were not possible before. But the relationship becomes more complex, too, in how the emotional dynamics between plant and human deepen.

Having been provided real possibilities conducive to healthy growth, each individual plant, well fed and watered, is by mid June growing into their reserved place as the center of their very own Gartenwelt. The gardener observes this and through awareness of the growth and filling in of space, sees the void. At that moment, the roll of gardener becomes meaningful in a way unlike that of nurturer. Suddenly a teleological entity is present adding a thoroughly human, aesthetic dimension to the garden world. The discovery reveals yet another way the gardener gardens the garden's future. Who would have thought that the Gartenwelt would transform the gardener into an actual teleological force that conjures the future through decisions that materialize space with life? Our responsibility is great.

So by now, the spaces without plants begin to show themselves. A trained eye can see it since not all empty spaces should be filled with more than emptiness itself. Still, in relation and calculation with or against the plants now there, thriving nearby, the gardener interprets such unintended empty space, and by doing so imagines the ideal companion plant. Not always adamant, and open to discoveries not yet imagined, the gardener sets out toward the nursery with a goal in mind.

Ah, to find the perfect plant. Visit one of our nurseries. Find what will fill in the last remaining uninhabited places of your Gartenwelt.
