About this listen
Why does digging in the dirt feel so good for the soul? In this episode of The Gentle Inquiry, we move beyond the hobby of gardening to explore the profound science of "Cultivating the Mind."
From the neurobiology of soil microbes that boost serotonin to the way mindful morning rituals can naturally lower cortisol, we break down how horticulture serves as a vital tool for holistic wellness. We’ll discuss the transformative power of horticulture therapy in rebuilding emotional resilience and how universal design ensures the restorative power of nature is accessible to everyone. Whether you’re a seasoned green thumb or a windowsill gardener, join us as we explore how a deep connection to the environment can fundamentally rewire your brain and body for health.
