Ep 207 Tammy Huynh - Plants CAN be Companions and bridge us back to who we are!

As a new Mum, living in a new home, having just released a new book and fertilising the idea of reconnecting back to her Vietnamese heritage Tammy Huyhn is a light hearted joy.This lass knows a thing or two about plants - you may have seen her face on ABC's Gardening Australia and she runs her own hortucultural business Leaf an Impression which delivers garden talks and workshops...she has even been awarded horticulturist of the year! Todays conversation though, mostly asks "how does gardening bridge us back to our ancestral roots and remind us who we are".Post recording, Tammy thanked us for the unexpected therapy session - so its a short and sweet ep that still manages to dig beyond the top soil.We talked about:How Tammy's Vietnamese heritage influences her gardening practicesInitially pursuing a career in agriculture before transitioning to writingTroubleshooting plant care effectively.How Motherhood brings both joy and challenges, impacting identityThe crucial role of Community in sharing gardening knowledgeThe power of gardens to connect people across cultures & generationsStarting with one plant can enhance mental well-being.The value of rest and self acceptanceLoved this?
