The other day I attended a Garden Power party. What was it? A gathering of friends to help plant a new garden for Ira Thompson at her house in Cary. Ira considers herself an “indoor person” but she loves to look at the beauty of nature. So she knew that to have a beautiful garden she would need to enlist the help of others – and she did just that!
Ira offered what she is known for – amazing food and fun! She created a spread of breakfast and lunch goodies to feed those who attended and asked that each friend just bring a pair of gardening gloves and be ready to get dirty. One friend is a landscape designer, Mary Liljequist of Earthly Delights Landscape Design in Raleigh. She supplied the design and layout for Ira’s garden – lots of beauty and low maintenance for this “indoor girl” and everyone knew just what to do when they arrived.
What a great time we had, being in nature, helping a good friend, reconnecting with some and making wonderful new connections with all who were there! Asking for help is something many of us shy away from, but it is something we all need to do more often!
What are you ready to ask for help with?
