As a child my parent's grew many plants around our home, a peach and fig tree, tomatoes, limes, and even a loofah sponge vine! It was wonderful to have limitless amounts of space around us and be able to grow food and other things we might be able to use. Being older now I realize just how special my childhood was in that so much of it was lived outside with farm animals, playing in mesquite woods, and having the occasional run in with rattlesnakes. I am lucky to have grown, and explored in such a way. Though out of all the things my parents grew my mother's beautiful gardenia plant was my most favorite. I loved discovering it's waxy blooms and was thrilled at the site of each fresh flower, often picking a few to take to teachers and friends. This scent sparks a note of nostalgia within me and this is what makes it so special to wear. I recently discovered these gems on etsy, you can find the bar here and the perfume here, I highly recommend the both of them.
