I can relate to "is it enough" once you take your love/ passion to the business realm. ARG= Side note, love your writing, love your offerings... and hope you can find your authentic rhythm of offering. May your garden flourish and nourish

Thank you for the kind words :) you are so right, it's such a balancing act of authenticity and also working with the business side of things. But also so interesting to see where that path leads.

There is something intimate and poetic about all loved gardens, and you captured that perfectly in this article. Like you, I started with potted flowers on a balcony. Not once but many times, in 3 states, always hoping one day to plant in my own yard, should I be so lucky. Happily- it became a reality 21 years ago. Thank you once again, Val, for reminding us of how meaningful our co-creative efforts with Mother Earth truly are.

My story is so similar! I lived in five apartments (in two different states), but a balcony was an absolute requirement in any place we moved. When I came back to Michigan, it was to be able to move to a piece of land that I could learn and grow and love. Such a journey, such a blessing!
