Winter AcceptanceAs the days dwindle down to a precious few where we might wish to work outside in the gardens, it is good to think of the positives of the winter garden break. Gardeners need a rest after the busy days of three seasons at Finlandia Gardens.After everything is stored and secured for the cold season we take a break and enjoy the beauty of winter. We still find activities to do in the wood shop during the season of rest and hibernation. Some of us travel to a warmer clime and others are satisfied to spend more time with a book or other reading. Indoor hobbies work well. My interests are watching movies, reading, and collecting stamps. I am working on a thematic collection of flora on stamps from around the world. Books on gardening are available in the garden club library at the Finnish Center and winter is a great time to hone up on one’s horticultural knowledge. Watching outdoor wildlife in winter is a wonder in itself. Winter survival is enhanced by the flora we have in our gardens. Observing birds eating perennial seeds in our gardens and wetland during the cold winter months strengthens our support for natural settings. Our oaks, cedars, crabapples, and other fruit bearing trees prove their worth as they assist our wildlife in surviving our cold Michigan winters. We hope you stopped by the Finnish Center during December and saw our Holiday lighting. We extend a wish to you for happy gardening in the coming seasons.
