A garden is much like a family. The needs are the same: diligence, love, and guidance. The results are the same: nourishment (though emotional and spiritual rather than physical), a sense of accomplishment, and roots.
In order to be healthy, they need similar environments: safe yet open, protected yet free.
And they need sun.
