Scenario

When family members have mismatched expectations about gardening together

My mom wants to turn her backyard into this elaborate vegetable garden for 'the grandkids to learn from' but my siblings and I all live far away and visit maybe twice a year, and none of us have the heart to tell her that her grand vision doesn't match our reality. She keeps sending photos of seed catalogs and asking what we want her to plant, and we just awkwardly say 'whatever you want, Mom.'

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Love and good intentions are creating a fantasy of connection that no one wants to puncture with honest conversation.
