Beautiful orange flowers in a spring garden shine like the sun - Nature in a Permaculture Garden 3

Each day I work with nature in my permaculture garden is another day of peace and enlightenment.
While working in the garden the other day the glow coming from this beautiful display of colour drew me closer to this glorious berberis darwinii, in full bloom, festooned in a sea of small bell like orange flowers. I find it interesting that this plant is recommended for bees and yet they can't see orange. I wonder what it is that attracts them to it? If you happen to know the answer please let us know. There were a few bees hovering around it collecting nectar but they just wouldn't stay still long enough to be filmed. As they say, never work with children or animals for filming, I'd add insects to the list. It is a great plant to have in your permaculture system, especially for bringing bees in. As Permaculture is a system for living, the well being of your soul is as important as any other component of a permaculture system. This scene certainly lifts my soul every time I experience this amazing display of nature.
Through this series of #shorts I will be capturing scenes throughout the year in my #permaculture garden. As I slowly turn a couple of acres into a food forest I will film some moments that bring joy to my heart. I hope they serve as a reminder for you also how wonderful a garden is.
A garden can be shaped and adorned to suit many tastes, desires and needs. In my own case, I have an interest in growing food. Nowadays almost everything I plant produces food of some kind, secondly I grow plants with a medicinal value, others which add essential value to other plants or creatures, I also enjoy plants which have a positive psychological emphasis, plant which lift my own spirit and the spirit of those you visit my garden, plants which delight the eye but particularly the nose. For me a garden is a place of great beauty and peace.
I spend many hours in my garden. Time takes on a different meaning for me when I'm in the garden, it seems to disappear and loose it's relevance. The world outside takes on a different meaning when I am in the garden, it seems further away and yet it all seems right there in this garden. I too, take on a different meaning when I am in the garden, I become one with nature.
