5 very valuable gardening gifts for me🌱

Welcome to a new post, dear Hiver!

I'm a plant lady, some of you know it, others don't.

I've received several gifts, all very valuable, but these in particular have a story behind them.

First Gift

When Dad found out I had a lot of plants but nowhere to put them, he decided to give me this metal plant stand.

We were in the yard, and he gave it to me. I wish I could draw better so I could capture all these precious memories I don't have photos of.

At first, I didn't use it because I didn't have any pots to put on it.

Then, I couldn't find any pots that fit perfectly, but with the rain, I had to get creative because the humidity was killing my plants.

So I decided to put some plants on it. The pots don't fit completely, so I placed it in a strategic spot. This way, I avoid the cats or my family tripping over them and making them fall.

They're fine there in that corner; no one bothers the plants, and the plants don't bother anyone.

Besides, they look really pretty.

Second Gift

My mom has given me countless things throughout my life. But this gift is incredibly useful.

One day she gave me several gardening tools. I really appreciate this because I used to use the hardware store tools at home, which are good, but not as practical and useful as specialized gardening tools.

So I've used them a lot; you can even see them in my YouTube videos on the "Gardening with Me" channel.

Now that I think about it, I should call these tools "the powerful ones"—it suits them perfectly.

Third Gift

A zamioculcas.

Every time I passed by certain houses, I would see them, and I would tell my sister that I wanted one because they are beautiful.

And one day, without even expecting it, my sister arrived with this plant in her hand and said to me: I brought it for you.

My face lit up with excitement and happiness immediately.

So, of all the plants, it's one that I take great care of because of its sentimental value. My sister not only listened to me, but she also gave me something I longed for.

Fourth Gift

The first flowers I ever received.

No one had ever given me flowers before. I don't know if my friend intended to give them to me, but I really appreciated the gesture.

I loved seeing these flowers, which were just stems when they arrived at my house.

Then, as they grew more and more, I began to see their beautiful yellow color.

Right now, they don't have any flowers; it's not their season. But they are still beautiful with their green stems.

Fifth Gift

My beautiful syngonium.

I think I'm the girl who loves complicated plants, because this one came first, but I didn't remember when I started this list.

At first, I had it in the patio; it spread through the soil, but I moved it, and it started to die.

It turns out it's a shade plant, and I was killing it. So yes, the plant police can come, because I understand.

Then, little by little, by taking care of it, I learned, and now it's beautiful. Although a small pest attacked it a few weeks ago, it's already better.

And yes, that's the plant you see at the end of each of my posts on Hive Blog. I thought that photo was so beautiful, and I haven't wanted to change it yet.

More Gardening Gifts

There are more in the garden, but I think it would reach 2000 words. However, I hope to continue receiving many more because a gift is an enormous act of love that stays in the heart and is remembered fondly.
