[Episode 48] Gardening for mindfulness with Kendall Platt

Listen on AppleiTunes | Listen on Spotify

I have another fantastic guest episode this week as I’m joined by Kendall Platt, The Mindful Gardening Coach.

She helps women take time out of their busy lives to quieten their minds whilst creating a garden that sets their hearts on fire and creating with the flowers that they grow.

She is the founder of The Mindful Gardening Club the UK’s only online gardening and floristry for wellbeing course and community for women who want to take their garden from bland to brightly coloured and feel fabulous as they do it! Designed to give you a simple month-by-month plan to get you gardening for your wellbeing without adding to the mental load.

I absolutely loved this conversation and I think you’ll agree with me that Kendall’s passion oozes through her words and her energy.  I often have her voice in my head telling me to get out in the garden and reap its magical benefits, which she talks passionately about in this episode.

  • We dive into:
  • Kendall’s story and how she fell in love with gardening
  • How to find the time to spend in the garden as a busy mum and business owner
  • How gardening can help us navigate challenging and difficult times
  • Tips on staying committed to your garden all year long, not just when the sun is shining
  • The mindful benefits of gardening
  • The commercialised version of self-care and how it can be damaging
  • How to get into gardening if you’re only just beginning
You can connect with Kendall on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn.  Also, check out her Substack called The Seed here.
