Power of gardening & Eco-therapy with Mary Ridley of Compassionate Roots

Mary Ridley is a therapist and business owner, making it her mission to incorporate gardening and nature into her practice. 

Today, we talk about:

• The power of gardening on mental health

• Why it works

• How to use gardening and parallel play to help with loneliness

I loved having this conversation. I learned some new things and have ways to describe what I do and why it works so well for building community and helping combat loneliness.

Unfortunately, Planteria has closed her YouTube channel. I would suggest checking out Growing Joy with Maria. She has a podcast, a YouTube channel, and a book to help you on your houseplant journey.

Until we talk again, leave people happier than you found them.
