Growing the good

Emily Murphy, an author and growing, health, carbon and resforesting evangelist mentioned ‘Growing Good’ in a post. It struck a chord.

Emily’s book is an earth manual for fostering biodiversity, rewilding, and regenerating landscapes and food systems. Improve immune function and overall well being, and decrease inflammatory illnesses, anxiety, and depression by getting your hands dirty, planting biodiversity for biodiversity, caring for soil, and growing organic. Let GROW NOW be your guide for growing a better today and tomorrow.

Imagine turning your lawn into a space that provided food, not just for you but your neighbours. Our gut biome (immune system) is run by microbes, and gardening organically will improve your health. Promoting butterflies, bees and insects while flowers that grow, lift your soul. What if this helps lower anxiety about having perfect gardens, rather ones that are alive? These gardens sequestor carbon, when the microbes are live and well, they love carbon and pull it into the ground.

A quick ‘elevator pitch’ of The Santuary Garden has been a struggle until ‘growing the good’ came to mind.
