Plants die all the time, and sometimes, especially when we’re new to collecting, this can feel like failure. The Book of the Dead casually buries those feelings — demanding instead that we view plant deaths as learning experiences. How it works: write an epitaph in this journal every time a plant is touched by the Grim Reaper, and commemorate its sacrifice by reflecting on what you’ve learned as a result. There’s a guide to common causes of death as well as an example using one of my own rotten plants as a model. Room for twelve casualties.
