“The earth sometimes rewards humans who do good works for the planet. Look out for unexpected windfalls of produce from the earth such as baskets of fruit or vegetables given to you unexpectedly, nature handcrafts, or a bunch of flowers picked from a beloved garden. These are all signs that the gifts not only came from the giver but from Mother Earth herself. - Fairy of the woods”

“Are fairies kind? Do they like humans?
“Of course, they love humans very much and, in some ways, aspire to be like humans. They are the link, if you like, between the plant world and the human world, they are from both realms. They love you all, very much, but they wish more of you would believe in their existence, so that you could see them. Even you, cannot yet see them, although you know that they are there, as you fear your higher psychic talents.�
Oh, so it is like in children’s stories, if you don’t believe in fairies as adults do, you cannot see them?
“Yes exactly, where do you think the writer got their ideas from, it was from the fairy realm? Children are more likely to see fairies, as they are more believing and delighted in what their eyes see. It is only when adults, then judge what the children are seeing, that the children shut down their psychic senses that enabled them to see the fairies in the first place.â€� â€� Gum Tree Fairies”

“Do different fragrances, mean different things?
“Different fragrances, attract different pollinators but also communicate different forms of love, to all who behold the scent. Scent is not really a thing to know, but to feel and experience. Once you smell a beautiful fragrance, you need not know anything else about it, just feel it. Let the fragrance work its magic on you.�
Is fragrance holy?
“There is nothing on this earth that is not holy, but yes fragrance is holy in that respect and is priceless in its value to all who experience it. It is capable of lifting moods, heightening awareness and giving inspiration and inspiring love. Is that not holy?�

“I asked the trees; what did you think about the drier seasons we have been getting lately and now this really beautiful wet one?
“We don’t think in terms of wet and dry, we take what we get when we get it, we enjoy it all and respond accordingly, if we get less rain we draw in less moisture and put on less growth and stop the growth earlier in the year. We adapt, like a boat, flowing along with the flow of the stream, we don’t go against the stream by resisting what is. What is is, and as such it is beautiful, the whole of life is beautiful and we make the most of what we get when we get it. We don’t waste time on thinking about what might have been. All that we get, is what we want. Why would we desire what we didn’t get, that is wasted energy?”

“I asked the trees why it would be that I am so attracted to flowers in particular?
“Flowers carry the love of God and all things in God’s Universe, pure, essential, satisfying love on all levels. Unconditional love and profuse joy for all things, is what flowers display for us. So, it is no wonder that the more sensitive among us are very much drawn to their beauty and grace.”

“Does it improve the atmosphere of the garden, the more flowers there are in a garden?
“Yes of course, we all have flowers for the contribution they make to the overall peace and happiness and harmony of an area. The more flowers there are the more peaceful, happy and harmonious the garden is. Who could stay grumpy or sad in a garden full of flowers? If the flowers are brought indoors in huge bunches, then the atmosphere inside the home is improved greatly with more harmonious relations between people, and peaceful and happy feelings encouraged.�

Then I asked the freesias, what are the roles of flower scent to humans in the garden?
“Fragrances lift the vibrational frequencies of an area, garden or room. If the fragrance is of a natural origin, preferably floral, then there are certain blessings attached to smelling it. It heightens the thoughts of humans in the vicinity and helps soothe bad moods or argumentative residents. Fragrance is also a bridge between the human and angelic worlds and helps communication between species. Do not underestimate the power of fragrance; it can change the mood and situations in whole regions. All the while, the residents remain oblivious, to the fragrance’s pivotal importance, in the natural world. Without fragrance, the world would be a poorer place.�
“Fragrance helps lighten one’s mood, and countenance and help lift depression and lethargy. Fragrance plays a big role in why people are more energetic in spring, once all the flowers in blossom come out en-masse.”

“Broccoli plants, I read somewhere that it is better for people to eat what is grown in their area from their particular climate and soils for maximum health benefits. Do you know anything about this?
“Yes, we know that humans eating locally, say within ten or twenty or a hundred kilometres away, produced from within that area has put up with the same climatic effects that you are likely to experience too and has grown strong in such a climate. Eating this gives those properties, such as making you strong in that particular climate. Do you see?�
Yes, I think so, thank you.
The broccoli went on:
“Like eating something that gives you a built-in resistance to the negative effects of such a climate, such as lots of wind or very hot temperatures. You then inherit this built-in resistance, by consuming a food plant that experiences the climate which you live with in your region.”

“I can feel spring in the air; an excited anticipation that things are building up, ready to bloom and grow. I asked a rose bush whether they find they put on better flower displays one year compared to another?
“All years are good years for us, we cannot compare our flower displays as we only really live in the moment, the display we have is the best so far as we are concerned. Whatever is happening now, is always the best for us. We neither look forwards, nor backwards like you humans seem to do. Every flower display is Divine and beautiful, how can we compare it, it is like comparing children?�
Do plants enjoy spring more than any other season?
“There is a certain joy when all the plants are flowering at the same time, it is like a mass celebration, but we do not have any favourite season they are all Divine for us. Spring is fun however for its unique qualities.”

“Another instance when I see sparkles is when I do a kind deed for an insect or animal. I often put beetles, millipedes, spiders and the like outside when I find them inside, so I do not have to kill them. I use a piece of paper or in the dustpan. I have done this for years, but since I started seeing the fairy sparkles with my actual eyesight, I have also seen animal and insect fairy sparkles, often in the half-light at dusk.
They sometimes light-up when I put them outside, just a single flash of brightly coloured sparkle and then it goes away just as suddenly. I then have a sense that it really was the insect fairy, thanking me for saving its insect’s life. A little sparkle of insect appreciation!”
