Meet Raluca
My journey into gardening began with a simple curiosity about how plants grow. Over time, that curiosity grew into a much deeper interest in the relationship between nature, health, and the everyday choices that shape our wellbeing.
Studying horticulture helped me understand the science of growing plants, but it also opened the door to a much bigger question:
Why does gardening make so many people feel healthier, happier, and more connected to the world around them?
