What This Card Means to Me
A garden that is well tended grows best. This means it needs to be pruned and weeded properly on a regular basis. Our lives are the same way in order for us to flourish and blossom. Otherwise our lives will become choked with dead, useless, and ugly bramble that no one wants to deal with.
