For gardeners who consider a shelf full of surviving houseplants the truest kind of community. Everyone brings something to the circle. One person swears by bottom watering, another by benign neglect, and someone always shows up with a cutting they insist you take home. The plants lean toward the light and toward each other, while the compost bin quietly takes in whatever did not make it. Support comes in many forms. Some of the best gardening wisdom gets traded standing over a bucket of scraps.
