Dear Gardener—
French philosopher Albert Camus wrote, “In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer.” We like to think Camus was a gardener, and he too must have known that as with the other seasons—and especially in the north—you really can feel spring.
March 20th marks the vernal equinox, the official thaw of season into brighter, warmer season and the great equalizer of day and night across all parts of the Earth. A temperate breeze delivers a breath of fresh air and a message: It’s finally time to plant ourselves in the garden and join our seeds and sprouts as they absorb nutrients and energy from soil and sunshine.
Planting is an act of hopeful establishment. Every root system we lovingly anchor in the ground affirms our values and intentions—just as our own roots keep us grounded and foster personal growth as we navigate new experiences in and out of the garden. So this spring, remind yourself and your neighborhood what you stand for—plant with purpose.
For over 40 years, our purpose at Gardener’s Supply has been to spread the joys and rewards of gardening. We know gardening nourishes the body, elevates the spirit, builds community, and makes the world a better place, so we remain rooted in innovative, high-quality gardening products and resources, community support, and sustainability. Our employee-owners are excited to plant pollinator-enticing native species, grow their own food and share with others in need, and experiment with cover crops to protect soil health.
Ponder the reasons and objectives behind your plantings as you at last get away to the garden; revisit that sweet spot where purpose intersects with joy, whimsy, and delight. In nature, we can’t help but appreciate—and appreciation burns through negativity like the intensifying sun burns through morning fog. Summer bounty beckons—but for now let’s revel in returning to the Earth, setting down roots, and celebrating the invincible spring within and around us all.
We wish you a happy equinox and early season, from our garden to yours.
