My gardeners’ hat


This stained and tattered gardeners’ hat shared 16 years with me in the Herbal Gem’s Garden of Spur Ridge. This hat and I worked hard together in the ever-changing weather of Texas to share herbs and edible flowers with restaurants and private clubs. It was my habit to pray for the chief’s that would receive these new and exciting culinary flavors into their restaurants. 

This old hat seemed to listen and guard those prayers with me.  Each night, while putting my prayers on paper, I was reminded of the blessings we had received that day. This was the beginning of a prayer journal to be entitled “Hearticulture”.

Understanding that the word horticulture is the science or art of growing plants and the cultivation of the soil. Hearticulture is the refinement of faith by the cultivation of our hearts through prayer.

I continue to pray from a grateful heart.
