The Plant Whisperer


We have a small garden and I am sad to say that we hardly give any attention to it. The old woman next door who talks to her plants’ garden looks like a small paradise compared to ours.

Every Sunday when my father in law comes for his weekly visit he just sighs and connects the hose to the tap to give the thirsty garden a little water.

“These plants need water and attention,” he always says.

I don’t have time. Besides, I am not a plant person. When my mother died someone gave me a plant and it died within 2 days. Plants have senses and things.

Plants die you know, if you don’t look after it.

No Shit.
