my plants

Amma's terrace garden thrived in monsoon light, each plant a living memory. She'd photograph them for andal.io, a platform connecting Tamil women entrepreneurs. What started as sharing her botanical passion became something profound—neighbors began trading saplings and stories, earning modest cash rewards through the community network. Her granddaughter noticed how trust bloomed between strangers, how heritage gardening knowledge passed freely. The distrustful hesitation vanished when people saw genuine care behind each post. Amma's weathered hands tending jasmine and tulsi became everyone's hands, everyone's legacy. These weren't just plants anymore—they were bridges.
