Plant Mama

Fall In Love With Mindful Plant Mama Jasmine King And Her Garden

Jasmine King sent me the kindest words about the BGWG community and sense of belonging it provided others that learning more about her plant journey was a must.

She dabbles in indoor and outdoor gardening and have been for a while. She gives bomb tips on her instastory where she can be found on IG @PlantBased_Lox , Check out what she has to say about why she became a plant mama.

What inspired you to start your garden?

My grandmother is a master gardener and owned a flower shop for 30 years.

What does being a plant mama do for you? Is it a form of self care? Coping method?

I enjoy the peace and patience gardening has taught me! It’s definitely a form of self care. I’ve learned to be just as kind to myself as I am to my plants.

What do you love the most about gardening?

Probably getting my hands dirty.


What do you dislike the most about gardening?

When one of my babies fail 😰 and not exactly understanding why or how it could have been prevented.


What do you struggle the most with in your garden or gardening in general?

Figuring out what each plant or herb needs separate of another.

Tell us something unique and different about you and your garden.

I like to adorn my pot with fabric planters. Made by me ☺️. It makes my plants my own.

We obviously love her spirit! Enjoy her as well @Plantbased_Lox
