Imagine you’re recovering from a life-threatening illness, and you decide to lend a part of your cherished garden to a friend’s sister.

You’re left gasping for breath, literally, as you tend to the garden she’s neglected. Sounds like a nightmare, right? Well, that’s exactly what happened to one woman, who we’ll call ‘Garden Warrior’.

The Garden Standoff: Who’s the Real Villain?

In this tale of friendship gone sour, Garden Warrior is left grappling with a garden full of weeds, a friend’s sister who’s more interested in excuses than actual gardening, and a church community that thinks she should just hand over her harvest. Despite her ongoing recovery from COVID and the physical toll it takes on her, Garden Warrior has been single-handedly tending to the garden, only to find out that the fruits of her labor might be given away or sold. Now, she’s left wondering if she’s the villain in this story, or if she’s just a gardener caught in a web of unkept promises and pepper plants. ️ ️
