"What is it about age and gardening which seem to complement each other?
For me, one obvious link is simple: patience.
Older people seem to be more able to slow down and notice the finer details in life.
Nurturing a seed from a speck of dust into a mature plant takes time and persistence – two qualities that can be in short supply in our modern lives.
We live in a world where there are an excessive number of distractions and people often seem to expect instant gratification."
