Gardening In Recovery

Dear fellow gardeners and gratitude folks!
The TS born idea of turning the still unfinished dry stone wall my ex has been building for 2++ years by now into a gratitude wall planted with all kinds of plants comes to life!

My resentments decreased over time, still it is a monument for his choosing stone fumbling and drinking, ignorance, lovelessness and silent treatment above being my loved one and investing in our relationship.

As I can’t find the original post where the idea was born, I hope the idea-giver gives a shoutout here! I’m so sorry that I can’t remember who you are as this idea is fabulous :smiling_face_with_three_hearts::sparkling_heart:

I’m tagging @eph-M-eral @Alisa @Lisa07 @Dazercat @JazzyS @acromouse as I remember you liked the idea. And I apologize to the ones I forgot, please feel all invited to contribute.

And there we go:
Every plant comes with a specific gratitude to the wall. As you can see I have started planting lots of gratitude. If you want a gratitude plant added to the wall you can post here or send me a PM. I’ll add your gratitude plant to the wall and send or post a picture.

Oh I’m so curious how this idea will bloom - of course some will not survive, I’m just learning how to plant on a stone wall. That’s ok, the spots will be replanted with new gratitude plants :smiling_face_with_three_hearts::sparkling_heart:
I’ll keep you posted about the growing!
