Gardening can be very symbolic to life. pulling weeds, planting trees, planting flowers, seeing a finished product, and providing care and attention to plants are all examples of gardening and character.
Pulling weeds helps you realize what destructive decisions you have been making and helps you how to remove them. Say that your life is a plant and these destructive decisions are weeds, if you let these destructive decisions grow too big, they could take over your life and maybe even kill you.
When you plant a tree, you must give the roots a good foundation for it to grow or else it could die. Without a good foundation, the tree could possibly fall over at the first blow of a wind. If the tree represents your values, and the wind represents peer pressure, you must plant your tree deep enough so that the wind will not knock the tree down. The thing about values are that they must hold up in tough times.
There are so many ways that you can relate gardening into life. These are just a few examples that I learned while working with Mr. Shirley.
