I’ve always been the one in the family who turns a patch of dirt into something alive—whether it’s a stubborn tomato plant or a row of herbs that somehow thrive despite my forgetfulness.
My grandmother taught me that gardening isn’t just about growing plants; it’s about patience, curiosity, and the quiet joy of watching something you nurtured bloom.
