From Plant Killer to Proud Plant Parent

Let’s be honest, I wasn’t always a green thumb. In fact, I was more of a plant grim reaper. My thumbs were seemingly coated in a lethal dose of neglect, turning even the hardiest of succulents into mushy messes. But then, something magical happened. I adopted a scraggly little fern from the clearance aisle, figuring I had nothing to lose. And guess what? It thrived! It sprouted new fronds, unfurled delicate leaves, and basically told my plant-killing reputation to shove it. That, my friends, was the beginning of my unexpected journey into the wonderful world of plant parenthood.

Stress Relief, One Leaf at a Time
