"Knowledge is not power. The sharing of knowledge is power. It's like water – it's most useful when it's flowing. The more you share, the more you have. The more you hold back, the more it stagnates. We need to be sharing our knowledge, not just hoarding it."
- Geoff Lawton
Why Gardening is Medicine for the Mind
There’s something about a garden that quiets the noise. With your hands in the dirt, the clatter of daily life fades. Science is finally confirming what gardeners have always known: tending to plants tends to us, too.
Gardening isn’t just a hobby—it’s a profound act of self-care and connection. Studies show it lowers stress, boosts serotonin, and gently rewires our brains toward balance and calm. Every small act, from planting seeds to pulling weeds, reminds us that we’re capable, connected, and part of something bigger.
Whether you start with a pot of herbs or a backyard bed, gardening offers more than food or flowers. It offers a way back to ourselves. A place to slow down while the world speeds up.
