Make sure to add this project to your agenda and share it with someone who would enjoy it!
To begin, you'll need some simple supplies. Make sure you have:
Set these up in a comfortable space, ideally near your plants.
Spend a few quiet moments with your houseplants. Observe their leaves, stems, and overall appearance. Consider their growth, any new leaves or flowers, and how they appear in their spot.
Ask yourself questions like:
Begin by addressing the letter as if it's from one or more of your plants. For example:
Dear [Your Name],
I wanted to share a little about my life on your windowsill...
Imagine their feelings, their needs, and any 'advice' they might have for you. Be as whimsical or as detailed as you like!
Once you've finished the letter, read it back to yourself. Reflect on how it feels to imagine a different perspective. Consider any insights you gained about plant care or how you might think differently about your plant's needs.
This reflection can also be a jumping-off point for more creative activities, like drawing your plants' imagined personalities.
If you're feeling proud of your creation, consider sharing it with a friend who is also a plant lover. You might inspire them to try this activity, too!
