Meet Tina 🌿 I’ve tended this lemongrass plant for several years. I harvest from her for my smoke-cleansing braids, and some stalks are going into my favorite chicken soup. Thank you Tina for your energetic and nutritional support! 🙏
But the relationship doesn’t begin and end with the harvest. It’s in paying attention, learning what she needs, and caring for her through the seasons.
For me, tending lemongrass is one way I connect with my Filipino ancestry—in my kitchen and in my spiritual practice. The care is part of the practice, even when there’s nothing to harvest.
What does tending—not just harvesting—look like in your life?
