    Episode 60: Gardening Is an Act of Resistance

    In this episode we’re talking about why gardening can be more than just a hobby — it can actually be an act of resistance.For most of human history, growing food was a normal part of everyday life. But in modern society we’ve become increasingly disconnected from where our food comes from and dependent on systems that feel out of our control.Gardening pushes back against that.Planting a garden means learning skills that our grandparents once knew by heart. It means building resilience, feeding your family, supporting pollinators, and reconnecting with the natural world.In this conversation we talk about how gardening gives people a sense of autonomy, why so many people are turning back to growing food, and how even a small backyard garden can change the way you think about food, community, and independence.Because sometimes the most powerful thing you can do… is plant a seed.Our main accounts:@meggrowsplants @thecottagepeach Listen on Spotify:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-garden-girlsFollow us on Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/garden-girls-podcast/id1763113032Follow us on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/gardengirlspod/Follow us on TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@gardengirlspod***Links***Meg's Planting Calendar:https://meg-grows-plants.myshopify.com/collections/allEpic Gardening:https://shop.epicgardening.com/GARDENGIRLSCode for 5% off!GARDENGIRLS*These codes are affiliate links that we receive commissions from and help to support the podcast!*

    In this episode we’re talking about something that doesn’t get discussed enough in gardening: ambiance.A beautiful garden isn’t just about what you grow — it’s about how the space feels when you’re in it. The light, the sounds, the movement, the smells, the little details that make you want to stay outside just a little longer.We’re sharing the things that make the biggest difference in creating a garden that feels like a retreat — from flowers that attract pollinators and herbs that release fragrance when you brush past them, to lighting, seating, water features, and the wildlife that bring a garden to life.Our main accounts:@meggrowsplants @thecottagepeach Listen on Spotify:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-garden-girlsFollow us on Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/garden-girls-podcast/id1763113032Follow us on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/gardengirlspod/Follow us on TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@gardengirlspod***Links***Meg's Planting Calendar:https://meg-grows-plants.myshopify.com/collections/allEpic Gardening:https://shop.epicgardening.com/GARDENGIRLSCode for 5% off!GARDENGIRLS*These codes are affiliate links that we receive commissions from and help to support the podcast!*
