My journey into gardening began on a bustling city balcony, where every inch was transformed into a thriving green space. I remember the thrill of seeing my first tomato plant bear fruit, a small but mighty victory in my urban garden. This passion grew as I moved to a larger space, where I could experiment with heirloom vegetables and native plants. Each plant taught me patience and resilience, echoing the lessons I learned as an environmental scientist. Gardening became more than a hobby; it was a way to connect with nature and nurture life.
