Plants make everything better. They're beautiful, fragrant and truly a gift from God the way that they can brighten any room. So why doesn't everyone have a garden or house-full? Simple: most of them are a pain to take care of unless you were blessed with a natural talent. If you were, great for you. But some of us weren't so lucky. For some of us, the struggle is more than real. We've tried and tried to grow our own garden; nothing ever blooms. Heck, we're lucky if one of the 10 plants we buried even germinates. We've tried buying plants that have already bloomed. We give them water, feed them the plant food they came with, let them have some time in the sun... and despite our efforts, those plants don't like us much either. Is it something we said? Did they need more shade, or some space from their other plant friends? Maybe you're like me and this kid and think you have to save your plants from dehydration on those hot, sunny days.

Point being, plants are hard to take care of. For a lot of people, keeping one plant, let alone a whole garden's worth, alive for more than a few weeks is tricky business. But deep down, everyone wants a garden. If plants were easier to care for, wouldn't everyone actually grow that garden that they dream about? Yes! It's simple problem solving, and I have your perfect solution to make your dreams come true. Choose plants that are simple to care for!

Some plants are more independent than others and can handle themselves pretty well. So find some of those, let them do their own thing for a little bit, stop by for some TLC every couple of days, and you're good to go. The plants are alive, you have a garden, and everyone's happy.
