Month One :Germination and Early Growth

The first stages involved planting seeds, preparing the soil, and waiting about a month for germination. In the greenhouse, the seedlings grew stronger each day, developing their first true leaves and expanding their root systems. The emergence of true leaves—distinct from the initial embryonic ones—marked the beginning of effective photosynthesis.

MONTH TWO : STRENGTH AND TRANSISTION

By month two, the seedlings have grown stronger—developing true leaves, deeper roots, and sturdy stems. They’re thriving in the greenhouse, but it's time to prepare them for the outside world.

We begin hardening them off, placing them outside for a few hours each day to adjust to sunlight, wind, and temperature changes. This step helps build resilience before transplanting them into open soil.

It's a short but important phase—where protection shifts to preparation

MONTHE 3 : GROWTH AND GRATITUDE

By month three, the garden begins to thrive in its new environment. Daily visits—morning, midday, and dusk—become a ritual. I drink my coffee, meditate, and create alongside the flowers. Surrounded by bees and butterflies, I feel deep gratitude for this quiet, living world.

I think of family, of future dreams, and of the women who came before me—who planted seeds in their own lives so mine could grow. In these simple daily moments, I feel connected to my heritage and to what truly matters.

Gardening teaches patience—and the art of letting go. I wasn’t able to see the full bloom in August and September, but the connection I built during this time is something I’ll carry with me forever.
