You Are a Gardener®

A Daily Practice for Gardeners of All Ages In every season of life, our gardens need tending. Not only when something feels hard, and not only when weeds appear. Growth is happening all the time, often quietly and without announcement. When we slow down enough to notice it, we begin to understand what our garden truly needs. This week, we are focusing on daily nurturing and why it matters for gardeners of all ages. Emotional growth does not happen through large, dramatic shif

hello gardeners® Introductory Gardening Workshop: A Gentle Way to Grow Emotional Awareness Emotions are part of everyday life.

The power of a perspective shift lies in how it changes the way we see ourselves and others. Perspective is the lens through which we view the world, our experiences, and the people around us. It shapes how we interpret moments, respond to challenges, and understand emotions. Sometimes what we call a "weed" is really a strength in disguise. A small shift in perspective can turn what feels challenging into something that helps us grow. Seeing Through the Weeds Every gardener,

Some weeds don’t just crowd our garden, they weigh us down. These are the heavy weeds we’ve carried for far too long. They are rooted deep in fear, doubt, and unhelpful thought patterns we’ve held onto for too long. Heavy weeds can look like jealousy, insecurity, fear of rejection, or fear of not belonging. They quietly grow beneath the surface, shaping how we see ourselves and the world around us. Every gardener has the power to tend to what’s within, release what feels hea
