Gardening can be such a good metaphor for life. You have good days and bad days, good seasons and bad seasons. Sometimes you're triaging your plants because you can't afford the water to make them all live, sometimes you're watching your garden disappear in a flood. We're constantly amazed by the extraordinary efforts of our Hive Gardeners.
This collection is a varied one but we think you'll like them. If you haven't managed to catch a Hive Garden post this week, perhaps try giving one of these authors a comment, even if it's past payout. What keeps this community awesome is the support we give each other. As we all know, a beautiful garden grows with a bit of love.
As you might know, this collection aims to support gardeners by drawing attention to their work. It also creates an archive of DIY, inspiring, educational and useful posts that we might want to refer to later, and that can be easily found by looking at the Collections list via @GardenHive on PEAKD. Three bloggers also get a beneficiary on this post - this week it's @sofs-su, @ciadanmea, @naymhapz, and @dayanart. The more you vote, the more these guys get well deserved rewards for their efforts. It's quality content that keeps Hive alive! Thankyou to @dayanart for the beautiful photo with the gorgeous painted bee boxes!
@sofs-su has a huge dilemma - how to triage your plants in the dry?

A short but inspiring post on a community garden with DIY containers - great stuff @akipponn!

@isdarmady's detailed and well presented posts are great fodder for hydroponic growers.
Who keeps bees? Loved this post with some beautiful pictures as well! As we know, pollinators like bees are essential for our gardens! Thanks @dayanart for taking care of bees.

@bigorna1 always looks at things from a permaculture perspective. This post runs through a few detaills about water catchment and is well worth a look for gardeners coping with drought.

An absolutely gorgeous garden made from recycled stuff and painted in bright and cheerful colours!
Always inspired by people who set up gardens in schools. What better way to engage kids than a school gardening competition? Thanks for sharing, @naymhapz!
If you're in Australia and wondering what your garden bugs are, @ligayagardener gets up close and personal...

Always appreciate a reminder that plastic bottles are useful for gardens, @mrnightmare89!

We hope you got chance to comment on at least one or two of the posts above, and hope they've inspired you in some way. I'm off to paint to some bee boxes, make a colourful garden, look at some bugs closely, and look at my water management situation - or I might just go and sit in the garden and breathe for a while. Happy Gardening!
