Wanting to find a way to make a change on Earth, the girl started from changing her own life with the land right under her feet by planting trees and gardening.
The girl Leeanne was an original city dweller before she decided to move to the countryside with the hills of southwestern Australia to plant trees, garden, and seek a peaceful life.
“I used to live in the city before moving to the countryside to find myself a quieter, more peaceful lifestyle. Luckily I found it in the middle of the woods, the hills of the west. South Australia,” Leeanne confided. Miss Leeanne contentedly with her vegetable beds A self-proclaimed lover of trees, forests, nature and all creatures on Earth, Leeanne took a course on aquaculture. That course inspired her to begin her journey to growing food crops. However, it was not until the beginning of last year, when Australia had to experience one of the worst bushfires in history, a severe drought, that she realized the impact of the global climate. Feeling hopeless, sad when witnessing those horrifying scenes of natural disasters, the girl sought to make a change. “I want to change, I seek to change to create the world I want, the life I want, and start with the land right under my feet,” Leeanne said. The girl started creating beds, planting seeds, growing vegetables and food crops to provide food for her family and share more with friends and neighbors. Clean vegetables from the organic garden “I take care of the soil and trees, in return they bring me many green and delicious products. I grow a lot of food plants because I want to eat clean fruits and vegetables. I like the feeling of going to the garden to pick fresh fruits, green vegetables to prepare nutritious, safe meals for the whole family. I want to be as self-sufficient as possible to work towards a lifestyle that can positively impact our land and our planet.” , Leeanne shared. Leeanne’s garden is about 200 square meters near the town of Bridgetown. In which, she uses 2/3 of the area to grow food crops, the remaining 1/3 grows perennial crops and fruit trees. For this girl, in addition to enjoying safe and healthy products from the garden, the bigger reward is enjoying an interesting life, connecting with the land, plants, and natural creatures. She has planted more flowers and herbs to attract some insects. Birds, lizards, grasshoppers, butterflies regularly flock to the garden. At night, some marsupials enter the garden in search of corn or tomatoes. The 200m2 garden changed Ms. Leeanne’s life. Leeanne said: “I don’t see it as a hindrance, I’m happy to be able to share food with the native wildlife, as long as they leave some for us. Through the process of gardening, tending. plants, I understand that the more love and effort you put into taking care of the garden, the better it becomes, and the more you nourish yourself.” According to the girl, focusing on gardening is a way to make a positive contribution to making the Earth greener. It is also a way to help you get rid of a stressful life. “I’ve realized that growing plants can be addictive, the more you plant the more passionate you are about growing the garden, and you won’t have much time left to worry and think negative.” Hoang Dung (translation summary)
