I’ve always had a soft spot for the quiet magic of watching something grow—whether it’s a stubborn seedling breaking through soil or a tomato vine sprawling across a trellis. My grandmother’s garden in upstate New York was my first classroom, where I learned that the best lessons in gardening aren’t found in books but in the dirt under your nails.

If you’re here, I hope you’ll find something to plant—literally or otherwise.
