Since then, I've taught hundreds of beginners how to grow their own herbs and veggies and create a garden that nourishes their body and soul.
RIP oregano, basil, and many more. I lovingly drowned more plants than I can count (black thumbs unite). After a lot of error and more error... thyme, green peppers, and kale managed to survive. Back in 2011, I started gardening while struggling with perimenopausal anxiety. Playing in the dirt gave me a deep sense of calm, it became my sanctuary. It also gave me and my family fresh basil for Sunday morning omelets. More importantly, my soul was happy. That's when I realized gardening nourishes the body and soul.
