Ingrid taught primary school for thirty-four years and kept a Snake Plant on her classroom windowsill for most of them. It outlived several curriculum reforms. She grows plants the way she taught reading: patiently, with clear rules, and no shame when someone starts over.
She writes the beginner end of the site — watering cadences that actually work, plants you can hand to a distracted adult and trust with, and how to recover from the classic first-year mistakes. Her advice is almost always "less than you think."
