I’m excited to announce the winner of my “Share a Plant Story with Me” contest! Congratulations Amanda Lindley! 🌿🥳 It was incredibly hard to pick just one story because they all made me feel emotional! I felt like I could relate to something in each and every one. Thank you to everyone who shared!💚
Amanda shared with me how when she was younger, she and her dad lived with her grandma and the plants there always stick out in her memory. I loved hearing about how the string of pearls she saw on a shelf there is now so strongly tied to the memory of her grandma. 💚It reminded me of how my mom, sister, and I lived with my grandpa when I was younger and it had me thinking about certain things that feel precious to me because they remind me of him.
Most of the plant stories shared with me were about plants that are deeply connected to family memories—I loved hearing how intertwined they are in your life that way, too. There were others about inheriting special plants, preserving plants for future generations, and plants that symbolized surviving really tough times. They were all told so beautifully!🌿
