I’ve always had a soft spot for the quiet magic of plants—how they grow, how they thrive, and the little surprises they hide in their leaves or flowers.
My childhood was spent in my grandparents’ garden in upstate New York, where I learned that gardening isn’t just about green thumbs; it’s about patience, curiosity, and a little bit of stubbornness.
