What Is Self-Soothing Gardening?
Self-soothing gardening is a slow, sensory, and intuitive approach to plant care. It’s gardening not as a chore or a trend, but as a gentle ritual for emotional regulation, burnout recovery, and reconnecting with yourself.
Where traditional gardening focuses on growth and productivity, self-soothing gardening focuses on comfort, calm, and care—for both the plants and the person tending them.
Core Beliefs:
- Plants are companions, not just decorations.
- Plant care can be a grounding ritual—like brushing your teeth or making tea.
- A plant nook can be a healing space.
- You don’t have to be perfect or consistent to be a good plant parent.
