is this the secret berry paradise i’ve hunted for years?
For seven years, I chased rumors about a hidden patch at work. People whispered about wild berries, but I never found proof. I’d sneak around on breaks, getting scratched up by thorns and mud. My knees and neck took the worst of it. Still, I kept looking.
Then today, I spotted a glint of purple behind the old shed. I pushed through the brambles and—boom—blackberries everywhere! It felt unreal. I tasted one, and it was sweeter than anything from the store. That’s when I realized: patience and a little stubbornness go a long way in gardening. Sometimes, you just have to keep exploring, even if it means a few scrapes.
Now I check that spot every day. I bring a small basket and pick what I can. My hands get stained, but it’s worth it. If you’re hunting for your own garden treasure, don’t give up. The best finds are usually hiding just out of sight.
