Hey everyone! I'm a 21-year-old student currently studying at the botanical gardens, and I'm working on a garden design project. My theme is 'black girl magic,' focusing on plants that have historical significance for black women in terms of skincare and hair care, while also celebrating resilience and tradition. The plot is small, but I need to include a pathway. I'd love any plant suggestions that fit this theme! Thanks a ton!

Before diving into plant choices, what hardiness zone are you in? It really helps narrow down options!
You might want to consider adding some herbs like chamomile, lavender, and calendula to your plot. They’re beautiful and practical! A witch hazel bush would definitely fit the vibe, plus it's great for the skin. For a fun twist, think about incorporating okra, cucumbers, fish peppers, and collard greens. Your project sounds super exciting!
