We have celebrated National Public Gardens Day since 2009, and it’s always held on the first Friday before Mother’s Day. The American Public Gardens Association started the event to highlight the environmental importance of public gardens. They provide much needed green spaces in cities, and they teach us about plant and water conservation. Most of all, they provide a place to renew our spirit and enjoy the seasonal flowers and plants in our area. Visit a garden today. Many are offering discounted or free admission. Roses are in bloom at the American Rose Center in Shreveport, and admission is free. Take time to stop and smell the roses.
Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; but I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these. Luke 12:27
