Both sets of grandparents had large fruit and vegetable gardens at home, and I recall following them around the garden and assisting them with planting and harvesting as a child. I was too young to understand the science of what they were doing, but I was enamored nevertheless. As a young adult in New York City, I dreamed of filling my first apartment with a variety of interesting plants, but achieving that dream wasn’t as simple as I’d hoped. I bought many plants only to then watch them die a slow and painful death—all due to my lack of plant knowledge and desire to buy plants based purely on appearance.

Robert Plant has since moved on to the plant afterlife, proving that I will continue to make mistakes as a plant parent. And while the love and understanding that now goes into each of my plant relationships can be trying at tim
