### My story

Hellow! I’m Shailee, your friendly plant mom. Grew up surrounded by roses and veggies, thanks to my dadaji. Our Diwali rangoli? Pure Malvi sisters’ magic. Moved to a new city, now my garden’s squeezed onto a hostel balcony - I reuse plastic containers, grow stuff outta scraps, and sometimes munch veggies right off the plant (don’t judge, you do it too, na?). Gardening’s taught me loads, and I’d love to share that joy with you. Smiles guaranteed!
