I became a gardener when  I was twelve. My early  1    of gardening may not have originated from my love for nature. It was to 2    my parents.

At that time,we had a big yard in which a beautiful maple  tree stood. But my mother often looked with 3    at this work of natural art. Those golden  leaves seemed like tons of rubbish to her. "They are just something to 4    ! " Seeing the neighbors busy with gardening, my father ever thought it a waste of time.

At that age,I always did something 5   to whatever my parents  did!If gardening was something they found 6   ,I would plant a garden!

I planted some lily(百合花)seeds in the yard. But they failed to 7    . I continued to plant some sunflower seeds and roses. Wild 8    joy,I found the first rose bloom(開花).One by one,the flowers bloomed their heads off9   .1 was touched by this land of wonder.

10    ,my parents showed no interest in my garden. My father even 11    at me because he found it was 12    to move around my garden to the driveway. To my mother' s 13    ,I put in her vase my real roses which, in her eyes,were simply weeds ―14 flowers.

Regardless of their 15    ,I kept on planting my garden and 16    to enjoy the pleasure of gardening. Plants make such good companions:they breathe, they bloom,they 17    to care and love.

It has been many years since I made my first garden out of my desire to 18    my parents. Today I become known as Mrs. Green Thumbs,teaching gardening and hosting a gardening show which makes my parents feel very 19    . And now I could say it is my affection for 20    that makes me a real gardener.
