Gort (Ivy) can tolerate conditions that many can’t – scrambling in dark corners up ruined walls and filling forgotten, unwanted spaces. It is a much respected teacher – showing us how to keep going when things get difficult – how to persevere with seemingly impossible challenges until we reach our goal. It looks to others for its support, interweaving and making stronger connections as it grows, giving strength and protection in return. Ivy usually knows how to give and how to take, and the connection that it makes in its early days will last for years, often for life, although it needs watching as it can become bossy – a lesson of friendships. Ivy shows its strong, true spirit even when cut right back – overcoming seemingly impossible obstacles.
