Banana Plant in a Pot

I grew up in a household where farming was one of the livelihoods. My parents and grand parents were avid gardeners. They planted seeds, watered plants & trees, harvested produce and saved seeds for future. This sparked my interest in gardening from an early age and developed my curiosity for nature and plants. I have Spent time outdoors, observed flowers, Trees, wild life and Intrigued by how plants can grow and thrive which developed an interest in gardening.

When my Paternal Grand Mother passed away, my Paternal Grand Father was diagnosed with stomach Cancer. After that my mother underwent open-heart surgery, but unfortunately, she lost her life to covid-19. Next, my father-in-law was diagnosed with cancer, but he beat it.

After going through all of these experiences and being concerned about food security and access to fresh organic produce, i have decided that as a family, we will lead a healthier and more sustainable lifestyle. Gardening offers numerous health benefits such as physical exercise, stress reduction and access to fresh, homegrown organic produce. Growing our own vegetables, herbs and fruits can provide us with a reliable source of nutritious food and foster a sense of self-sufficiency. This has inspired and motivated me to take up gardening as a way to improve my overall well-being. Additionally, i'm passionate about environmental conservation and sustainability and I believe gardening can be one of the ways to contribute positively to the eco system.

Previously, we have cultivated plants, created green spaces and promoted biodiversity in our backyard as a way to create a positive impact on the environment. I like colors, textures and design and always dreamt of creating a visually appealing garden by experimenting with various plant combinations and expressing our artistic flair through landscaping. This could be one of the motivation factors for me to get into gardening.

These are just some of the many possible reasons why i got into gardening. Gardening can be a rewarding and fulfilling hobby that offers numerous benefits, and each person's journey into gardening is unique and personal.

In conclusion, Gardening has become a meaningful and fulfilling hobby for me, driven by my passion for nature, health, sustainability and artistic expression. I'm excited about the journey ahead and the positive impact it can have on my well-being, the environment and my family's lifestyle. I look forward to continuing to explore and experiment with gardening as i strive to create a beautiful and sustainable garden. Happy Gardening!!
