About Me
Cultivating Growth, in the Garden and in Life
Welcome to The Reflective Gardener, a unique blog that intertwines the art of gardening with personal growth. My name is Miyosha. The Reflective Gardener is my space to share insights from my garden, stories of personal growth, and the lessons nature teaches along the way.
My Gardening Journey
My enthusiasm for gardening started years ago. I was always interested in things growing, but when I became a preschool teacher, it really opened the door. I would help the kids grow flowers and vegetables and would go home and try to do the same. In early 2023, I attempted to grow sunflowers and bell peppers. Throughout the year, I started experimenting with plants. I bought a money tree and tried to regrow green onions. In the fall, I attempted to grow potatoes and onions. I decided the following year to go all in. Over time, I realized that gardening isn’t just about growing plants; it’s about nurturing patience, resilience, and joy.
Today, I grow a variety of vegetables, herbs, and flowers, including:
- Tomatoes, peppers, and squash
- Nasturtiums, marigold, and hibiscus
- Root crops like carrots, potatoes, and onions
- Healing herbs like basil, rosemary, and mullein
