The physical health benefits of gardening are well known: exercise, strength building, and fresh air. What about the impact of nature and gardening on our emotional and mental health? How can plant care be ‘self-care’? How does the experience of ‘awe’ help us re-energize and counter the negative effects of screen time and social media? Join us and learn how gardening can help us cultivate and reap a multitude of health benefits. We’ll explore evidence-based strategies to incorporate ‘awe’ into our time in the garden.
