Thank You, DeShawn: Growing Knowledge Together
It was great meeting DeShawn. What a bright young gentleman. We first connected because he was interested in buying a rubber plant. What began as a straightforward plant exchange quickly grew into something much more meaningful.
Gardening Session
During our conversation, DeShawn asked thoughtful questions about soil. Since he had recently purchased a new plant that came only with its roots and no soil, I wanted to make sure it had the right foundation.
I invited him over to our garden to learn more. Together we covered:
- How to properly mix soil with perlite for drainage
- Irrigation basics and managing moisture indoors
- The benefits of terracotta pots in South Florida’s humidity
- Adjusting soil and drainage for indoor growing conditions
By the end of our time, DeShawn had his plant potted in rich, supportive soil—and a stronger sense of confidence in plant care.
Review
A Young Gardener’s Spirit
Meeting young minds like DeShawn is always encouraging. Gardening, to me, is an act of kindness: working with living beings, learning how they thrive, and treating them with care. It was inspiring to see his eagerness to learn and his openness to connection.
TY DeShawn
DeShawn, thank you for the time we shared today. I look forward to seeing how your plants grow under your care. Always feel free to reach out with any questions—it’s a joy to witness growth not just in plants, but in people too.
