Healing Spaces | Jenny Peterson, The Cancer Survivor's Garden Companion

Join your host, Leah Churner, as she sits down with Jenny Peterson, author of The Cancer Survivor's Garden Companion (St. Lynn's Press, 2016) to talk about the therapeutic power of gardening. As a landscape designer, urban farmer, and breast-cancer survivor, Jenny has unique insight on the healing potential of outdoor spaces. She explains how to find relief in the garden, whether you're experiencing illness, stress, grief, anxiety, or depression. For many reasons, working with plants can help us clear mental fog, process feelings, and gain perspective on the rhythms of life. Plus: your host envies Jenny's adorable baby goats. Visit https://www.jennynybropeterson.com/ facebook.com/JennyNybroPeterson.    This interview was recorded in February 2018 at Permanent RCRD in Austin, Texas.
