Summary

This quote suggests that gardening appeals to individuals because it allows them to feel connected to the act of creation. The process of tending to plants and seeing them grow mirrors the concept of being present at the moment of creation. Gardening provides a sense of wonder and fulfillment as one witnesses the transformation of seeds or seedlings into thriving plants, allowing them to experience something akin to the awe and marvel of witnessing the birth or beginning of something new.
