Me either, if truth be told! :-D It is definitely something I've come to at an older age. It's funny, though, because I've always *loved* flowers and gardens, and have such fond memories of one grandmother's garden, and of roaming in the pollinator-filled meadows of the other grandmother. And yet it's just not something I even thought about doing until recently, with DD old enough to entertain herself, and my thoughts turning to larger philosophical questions of what makes life meaningful. I finally decided that supporting the ecosystem while creating beauty was high on the list!
It also helped that I moved into a house that had been owned for 50+ years by a gardener who left me beautiful soil in her many beds. Definitely a nice gift to be left by a former owner.
