I’ve always had a green thumb—whether it was sneaking seeds from my grandmother’s garden as a kid or turning my college dorm balcony into a jungle. Now, I run *Plant Room* to share the joy of growing things, from foolproof tips for beginners to the little tricks that make even the trickiest plants thrive.
My approach? No jargon, just honest advice and stories from my own messy garden.
