    “As my act of resistance… I’ll plant a garden”

    There seems to be so many issues across the world that are fighting for our attention. In the midst of a world that appears to be spiralling out of control on many fronts, to Plant a Garden is to care for what remains and to bring beauty and order to that which is in our control.

    This designed is based off of Kyle's song Plant a Garden which explores the idea that instead of worrying about all the things that are beyond our control… maybe the best thing we can contribute to the world is to simply care and tend for the small square footage beneath our feet; to plant flowers, to tend a garden, and to care for our neighbourhood. The song proposes the idea: “when there’s chaos around us, we should care from the ground up, and keep growing beautiful things”.

lyrics

This world and it’s problems
Are too big for me
I’m just a drop in the bucket
And my hands are weak

I’ve stressed and I’ve wrestled
I’ve lost nights of sleep
Over things far beyond
My control and my reach

I remember you growing
Flowers, and showing
Me how to care for the dirt
You said, “trust me when I say
If the world goes the wrong way
Beauty will save the earth”

So I’ll plant a garden
Of flowers and things that will bloom
Tend to my yard and
In time I’ll taste of its fruit
As my act of resistance,
I’ll work with persistence
and care for my neighbours too
I’ll plant a garden
Like you taught me to

I’ve heard rumours of war and
Bombs in the night
They say “they’re conspiring to get us”
And maybe they’re right

But God only knows when
The day or the time
when we’ll all face the curtain
to say our goodbyes

I remember you told me
Of flowers growing
Through cracks of war torn streets
You said, “when there’s chaos around us,
to care from the ground up
and keep growing beautiful things”

So I’ll plant a garden
Of flowers and things that will bloom
Tend to my yard and
In time I’ll taste of its fruit
As my act of resistance,
I’ll work with persistence
and care for my neighbours too
I’ll plant a garden
Like you taught me to

I remember you told me
That there is only
So much we can bear
You said it’s better to live simple
Let your world get little
And care for the people there
