March 12 - 🌼 Plant a Flower Day: Because Your Garden Needs a Glow-Up 🌿
🌞 What is Plant a Flower Day?
Every year on March 12, Plant a Flower Day arrives to remind us that spring is coming and it’s time to get our hands dirty—literally. This day is all about brightening your space, nurturing nature, and feeling accomplished after planting something that might survive your care (or lack thereof).
Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or you’ve killed every cactus you’ve owned (how?!), today is your official excuse to try again. No judgment. Just dirt, seeds, and hope. 🌱
🌼 Who Created Plant a Flower Day and Why?
Ah, the great mystery: Who founded Plant a Flower Day? The truth is, no one knows for sure. (Suspicious, right?) But it’s widely believed that this day sprouted from the collective desire to celebrate the beauty of blooms and welcome warmer weather.
Basically, someone somewhere thought: “What if we made a day where everyone plants flowers and pretends they know what ‘perennials’ are?” And honestly, we love that for us.
Whoever it was, we owe them for giving us a reason to take a break, touch grass (or dirt), and channel our inner plant parent. 🌿

Roses are red. Violets are blue. Plant a flower. It might survive, too.
Tulips dance in golden light,

sunlit pinks and golds are spread.
Bending, swaying, full of grace,
a fleeting kiss of time and space.
