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!*
