Seeds of Origins

Pick a particular plant in a community garden and write about its origins, how it traveled, and how it’s flourished in the garden.

Every plant has a history, a journey it undertook before it found its home in the garden. Choose a specific plant and weave an imaginative story about its origins, considering if it was locally sourced, brought from a distant location or even a cherished heirloom. This prompt encourages exploration of culture, migration and adaptation as seen through the botanical lens.
