What do tomatoes, microbes, and mental health have in common? More than you might think.
Join us for a fun, hands-on evening exploring the fascinating connection between gardening, nutrition, and overall well-being. We’ll dig into how the gut and brain influence mood, stress, and mental health, and how nutrient-dense foods, time in nature, and getting our hands in the dirt can nourish both body and mind.
Along the way, you’ll plan your garden, swap ideas with new friends, and enjoy time for refreshments, socializing, and group discussion. Whether you have a backyard garden or a few pots on a patio, you’ll leave with fresh ideas, new connections, and inspiration for the growing season ahead.
And yes, there will be snacks, because every good garden plan starts with a little nourishment.
