I'd never thought I'd be that person
If you had told me a few years ago that I’d be this obsessed with urban gardening, I probably would have laughed.
~
Like most city dwellers, my days were filled with the usual: work, errands, squeezing in social plans, and trying to keep up with the always-on pace of life.
~
Sure, I loved a good farmer’s market and the idea of fresh, organic food, but actually growing it myself? In the middle of the city? Yeah, right.
~
And then something shifted.
~
It for sure was my health crisis when I was diagnosed with cancer. But probably it also was the exhaustion of supermarket produce that looked perfect but tasted like cardboard.
Maybe it was the realisation that I had no idea where most of my food actually came from.
Or maybe — just maybe — I was just tired of feeling so disconnected.
~
So, I started small. A pot of basil on my windowsill. Then a few cherry tomatoes on my balcony.
~
And before I knew it, I had turned my little urban space into a mini paradise.
~
And let me tell you — it changed everything.

IT'S ABOUT WAY MORE THAN JUST PLANT: IT'S A LIFESTYLE SHIFT
~
Urban gardening isn’t just about growing food.
It’s about reclaiming a connection that so many of us have lost.
🌍 It’s about sustainability. I used to grab packaged salad greens every week without thinking about it. Now? I just step onto my balcony, snip fresh lettuce, and skip the plastic waste altogether.
🌿 It’s about biodiversity. When I planted lavender, bees started visiting. When I added edible flowers and dill, butterflies showed up. And suddenly, my little urban corner wasn’t just for me — it was a tiny ecosystem, buzzing with life.
🤗 It’s about mental health. After a long day, nothing grounds me faster than tending to my plants. The simple act of watering, of checking on new growth, of seeing tiny seedlings push through the soil — it’s like therapy, but cheaper.
