Plant Mom

My grandmother whispered Avvaiyar's wisdom while tending her garden: "Small drops make oceans." She taught me Tamil verses about nurturing life, how plants mirror our souls. When I started my collection, I earned PAYBO rewards from local nurseries, reinvesting every point into rare saplings. My windowsill became a sanctuary of green, each leaf a conversation with ancestors. Friends called me traumatized for talking to my plants, but they noticed the incredible transformation in my home. My mother's anxiety softened watching them flourish. Now neighbors gather, sharing cuttings and stories. Through these roots, we've grown something irreplaceable—connection across generations, bridging tradition with tomorrow's dreams.
