the graveyard

every plant here was loved. badly, but loved. we bury them with their real cause of death, because honesty is how the next one survives. leave a flower 🌼 on the ones that hit home.

6 plants remembered here. zero judged.

lost one recently?

give it a proper goodbye. name, dates, cause of death, a few last words. confession is the first step to better watering.

it wasn't your fault. (it was.)

in loving memory of

unnamed string of pearls

3 weeks

not enough light

the shop said bright indirect. my bathroom said no.
