Ep. 39 - Gardening As Therapy
Episode description
This episode is totally unscripted. No notes, no ads, just a conversation between me and you, my gardening friends. And this episode we are talking a little about gardening as therapy. It's been a rough week or so around here and the roller coaster isn't over yet, so we're talking all the ways gardening is good for your mental health. From pulling weeds, to quiet observation, to feeling the ground beneath your bare feet, your garden can and should be a place where you can relieve some stress and anxiety, even if only for a few minutes to clear your headspace.
Join our Facebook group to talk with other gardeners about growing things, using our spaces as therapy, and check out what Karin is attempting to mimic in the kitchen garden: Just Grow Something Gardening Friends Facebook Group
