The Story Behind The Plant Goddess
(For the curious minds)
When Covid hit, the urban girl found herself grappling with anxiety and an unfulfilled creative drive. Her bustling city life had always kept her occupied, but the sudden stillness brought by the pandemic left her restless. In her search for a new outlet, she discovered the world of plants, opting for them over pets due to their calming presence and the endless variety they offered.
She dove headfirst into this new interest, spending countless hours watching videos and reading articles to understand these living beings of nature. She learned about different species, their care requirements, and the intricate ways they interacted with their environment. This journey of discovery was both soothing and invigorating, offering a sense of purpose during an otherwise uncertain time.
Her initial collection of plants grew steadily, and with each new addition, her passion deepened. She meticulously cared for them, reveling in the joy of watching them thrive. It wasn’t long before she realized that this was more than just a fleeting interest—it was becoming a life mission. The act of nurturing plants provided a therapeutic escape, a way to channel her creative energy into something tangible and rewarding. As the world began to recover and Covid restrictions lifted, she felt a strong desire to share her newfound love with others. She started volunteering at various cafes and community centers known for their lush greenery. These places became her sanctuary, where she could connect with like-minded individuals and continue learning about plant care and sustainability.
Through her volunteer work, she helped design and maintain plant displays, offering tips and advice to anyone interested in starting their own plant journey. Her enthusiasm was contagious, inspiring others to appreciate the beauty and benefits of indoor gardening. She found immense satisfaction in seeing the positive impact her work had on the community, fostering a sense of connection and shared purpose.
This journey transformed her life, turning a period of anxiety and uncertainty into one of growth and fulfillment. Her love of plants became a cornerstone of her identity, guiding her towards a path of continuous learning and environmental stewardship. The urban girl who once sought an outlet for her creative energy had found her true calling, cultivating not just plants, but a sense of peace and belonging in a world that was slowly healing.
Now, she works as a plant care technician at the Maya Centre in London, using her expertise to keep their extensive collection thriving. Despite her busy schedule, she still volunteers at the Mood Cafe once a week, bringing life and greenery to the place, creating a welcoming and vibrant atmosphere for all who visit!
