I’ve always had a soft spot for the quiet magic of plants—how they bend toward the sun, how their roots tangle beneath the soil, and how even the most stubborn weeds find a way to thrive.
My childhood summers were spent helping my grandfather in his garden in upstate New York, where he’d teach me that gardening isn’t just about growing things; it’s about patience, curiosity, and a little bit of stubbornness.
