I’ve always had a green thumb—whether it was sneaking seeds from my grandma’s garden as a kid or turning a cracked windowsill into a thriving herb patch in my first apartment. There’s something about watching plants grow that feels like magic, and I want to share that joy with anyone willing to get their hands dirty.
