August has been as busy as it has been a time of reflection for me. I am still available for consults and I will still be writing blogs, just not as frequently. I am adding a new root to my tree... If you follow me on Instagram you heard my latest announcement that I've decided to embark on a new course through NC State in Therapeutic Horticulture. Now, I can almost hear you asking, "What is that?!"
Well, the idea didn't just pop into my mind; there was a lot that led up to the discovery of this as a new career path.
I began 2023 by writing my second ebook titled
I wrote it because I'm continually inspired by nature every day when I'm out gardening, whether it's for myself or for clients. I wish for others to find that same sense of peace in their lives through nature, as it has so much to offer. As the year progressed, I joined the Master Gardener Program through UGA Extension, which has been an awesome experience, and I highly recommend it!
Throughout this program, I've had the opportunity to learn so much and meet many wonderful people who give back to the earth and their community. Through volunteer work, I've witnessed firsthand how gardening can be implemented in a therapeutic way. I've seen individuals with addictions make progress and experience tangible results by nurturing plants, which, in turn, inspires personal growth in their own lives. Isn't that amazing?
I discovered that Therapeutic Horticulture is a legitimate profession, and I got so excited that I found my next step in the world of gardening—a new root to add to my many roots!
Never stop growing in everything you do, and always give thanks for every new day. Cheers!
