Finding Fulfillment in Roses

As a daughter of someone who loves gardening, learning how to make compost was somewhat expected of me. After all, when my father passes, who else would be left behind to take care of his precious roses? At first I didn’t really understand why I had to learn how to make compost, but as my father explained it to me patiently what it does to the soil and the plants, I shrugged and let myself be taught.

Compost, according to my father, is a mixture of yard and organic waste that are being decomposed largely through rotting and tissue breakdown, producing a rich black soil. This soil now has enough nutrients a plant needs to flourish. Ever since I started helping my father making the compost for his plants, I noticed that his roses have increased in number and it had a healthy, red bloom. I realized now why my father loved this garden so much; the fact that you can create and nourish something so beautiful can be very fulfilling.
