Which tunes do you dig?
We asked Anythinkers to tell us what they listen to when they garden. Here’s what they had to say.
“I like listening to Christian music because it makes me feel closer to the ones I love that have passed away. They were wonderful gardeners (it runs in the family), so I listen to it as I plant and care for all the plants that were their favorites along with mine.”
– Kathee W., via Instagram
“I like listening to nature, but it usually turns into my dogs barking at things.”
– Shaina K., via Instagram
“Talks, Spanish lessons and music.”
– Cassandra S., via Facebook
“I definitely listen to smooth jazz playing through outside speakers. Relaxing.”
– Mary L., via Facebook
“The peaceful creek behind the house, and our chickens talking to us!”
– Michelle G., via Facebook
“Podcasts!”
– Laura S., via Facebook
“The birds chirping and sometimes just the silence.”
– Caroline W., via Facebook
“I like listening to country music because the songs are always about farming and growing things!”
– Melissa L., via Instagram
