About Kay L.

I’m a freelance writer and content creator with a passion for storytelling and gardening. My love of flowers started when I was given a book on floriography and realized that flowers can be used to communicate hidden meaning. Since then, I’ve rediscovered the joy of nature and the far-reaching impacts it can have on the human psyche. In my spare time, I collect crystals, write fantasy fiction stories, and create eclectic art.
