Yes to chaos gardening! Just wrote about how perfect chaos gardens are, though I didn’t use that language. I just saw it as wild, interwoven, coexisting, harmonious. The gardener may or may not have planned it all, they may have tossed the seeds in a moment of abandon. All that matters is what was created after. The lack of compartmentalization made it so complex and beautiful. I hope you feel comfortable sharing yours with us one day🧡
I love the phrase chaos gardening. A few days ago, y neighbor told me she has a cousin who is a landscape architect, and this cousin created a garden plan for my neighbor. When the cousin presented the plan, my neighbor just kind of stared at it, stunned. It was so planned, so organized, so much work. The landscape architect cousin correctly read her reaction and said, "or you can plant whatever you want, wherever you want, and it will look like a fruit salad." My neighbor happily chose the fruit salad.
Also I can't think of the last time I turned my phone fully off. Yes. I'm doing that.
As soon as I got to ‘turn your phone off’ I did then came back to finish the newsletter later 😂. It’s wild how having it off took it out of my mental circulation/awareness
I enjoyed this story about flowers

Thank for the beautiful distinction between "the work" and "the job".
("I understand that all work is the work, but not all work is the job")
Yes to chaos gardening and YES to phone off. Thank you for the reminder ❤️
