Ever since she moved back to her childhood home on Vancouver Island, Canada, Pamela Anderson has offered us endless inspiration with her natural, intuitive approach to homekeeping. Now, the actress has formalized her guidance by sharing the seven simple rules that guide her. They're ideal for gardening and life.
Pamela worked with her skincare brand Sonsie to produce a beautiful, uplifting video sharing her most important garden ideas. Each is more inspiring and philosophical than the last, but with a practical bent that you can easily apply to your planting this fall.
Her rules have the same magical quality, drawing on the connection between gardening and wellbeing and emphasizing nourishment and patience, two of the most important skills to becoming a master gardener.
Whether you're starting a garden from scratch or already have several years of planting under your belt, they offer ideas to nurture at the very least. In Pamela's words, here's how to garden.
Pamela's Gardening Rules
- 'Rule number one, no hovering. Give it what it needs and leave it be. Hovering never helped anything grow.'
- 'Rule number two, handle everything with love. It remembers how you treat it.'
- 'The third thing to know, never aim for perfection. Let the mess become the magic.'
- 'Rule number four, always look below the surface. That's where the real work happens.'
- 'Rule number five goes for just about everything. Stick to a rhythm. You don't rush something you want to last.'
- 'Number six. Trust this one. Let it evolve. There's beauty in the becoming.'
- 'Last one. Lucky number seven. Maybe the most important. Just let it be. The differences are what make it beautiful.'
