Thank you for sharing! It’s refreshing to meet “my plant people” that share the same dream. I’m so tired of “gate keepers” that want to block and control my passion for learning about gardening. They shame me saying I have “too many plants” but no one is shaming them for “too many pets, video games, musical instruments, decorations, etc.” Don’t let haters steal your joy!

The more the merrier I say, and at least if you have extras you can gift them to your friends 😍

Wow, I enjoyed in this piece. Gardening as a way to quiet the mind, process big stuff, and reclaim power is so real. I love how you call out the patriarchy keeping us too busy to think straight, especially us women juggling everything. That 93% burnout stat is wild, but no shock there.

Yeah it’s validating to have the burnout stat there in black and white, backed up by actual research. There’s also comfort in knowing other women are feeling as drained and burnt out as we are! Now it’s time for action to make a change 💪🏼🌱
