I am so happy to share this Gardening Journey with you...

Plants saved my life.

They gave me something to dig into and hold onto hope for.

It's amazing how something as tiny as a seed can mean something so big. Gardening got me out of my head and into my body, something I deeply needed in times of mental distress. Nature offered me a safe space to just be myself. I've never felt judged by a plant.

When I am out in the garden, I feel so taken care of. There is something magical about being surrounded by the bees and butterflies, birdsong and breeze in the trees... I wish I had known sooner how healing a garden can be. That is why I am so passionate about walking the garden journey with others now. A garden is never finished and that can be an invaluable life-preserver when you need something bigger than yourself to live for, something to look forward to.

In my darkest times, the simple task of watering a potted plant on the back door steps, or pulling weeds when I needed to channel difficult emotions, the garden gave me space to process everything in a safe way... and before I knew it, I had created something beautiful.

Let's grow together.
