HealingGardens Podcast

Farmer Rishi speaks to Kamila Jeevanjee on how gardens are particularly able to promote healing because humans are hard-wired to find nature engrossing and soothing. Kamila shares the importance of nurturing native plants, and how she has come to understand that pants, like humans, also need to belong to an ecosystem where they can thrive. She throws light on some of the vital life lessons she has learnt from being deeply involved, for over 45 years, as the principal nurturer of her garden.

Join @farmerrishi and Michelle Matthews, executive director, @arlingtonpasadena talk about the role of community gardens in the wellbeing of society. They explore what it takes to create and nurture a garden built on regenerative principles. Gardens like Arlington encourage inclusive community engagement contributing immensely to the development of the social fabric of a community.  

Rishi speaks to Manohar Sethi, a feisty garderner with a passion for worms and their role in regenerative soil care. Watch out for a kick-ass ‘Green Smoothie’ recipe he shares, which promises to be a super energy and immunity booster!

Here we explore the healing powers of gardens with one of our Healing Garden's hosts, Manju Kumar.

Listen in to our conversation as we explore the magic of composting, waste management, and regenerative practices for soil health.

Here we explore the healing powers of gardens with one of our Healing Garden's hosts, Meadow Carder-Vindel.

Meadow was one of the first Healing Gardens we signed up to our platform, and since our first meeting, she has been a guiding light for our organization, so much so, that we asked her to join our team!

Listen in to our conversation as we explore the deeper meaning and symbolism in gardens, beyond the tasty and beautiful food (which we definitely still enjoy and find great meaning in). We explore what a healing garden is, how we can find healing in a garden, and Meadow's views of the garden as a microcosm of our world (or body as she might say).
