As gardeners, we have tremendous passion for our gardens, but we often find ourselves burning out quickly when the seasons get rough. Winter is too cold, summer is too hot, fall is too dark, spring is too buggy. Before we know it, another year is gone, and we found ourselves wishing our lives away. I call this phenomenon being trapped in “Gardening Hell.”
I struggled with this my entire life, but through hard work, planning and lifestyle changes, I’ve been able to escape Gardening Hell. Now, I enjoy every season, because I changed my lifestyle to appreciate the present and Live In The Now. I want to help you stop wishing your life away and teach you how to find joy and passion in life all year long. Join me with an open mind as I share the techniques that worked for me to both improve my mental health and improve my physical health.
