3 Questions to Help Uncover Your Gardening Why

Knowing why you grow changes everything. It keeps you going when the weather’s bad, the bugs show up, or life gets busy. Here are three quick questions to help you get clear on your why:


1. What part of gardening makes me feel good?
Is it the quiet? The dirt? The taste of something you grew yourself? Your why usually hides in those moments.


2. What do I want from this?
Better food? A break from screens? A sense of control? Be honest—your garden should give you something back.


3. What would make me quit and what would make me keep going anyway?
Hard seasons happen. What’s strong enough to pull you through? That’s your real reason.


Your why doesn’t have to be deep it just has to be true. Once you’ve got it, use it. Let it shape what you grow, how you grow, and why you keep showing up.
