The Gardener's Lodge
Can Gardening Strengthen Our Relationships? With Karin Blak
How can gardening support mental wellbeing, strengthen relationships and help us reconnect with nature? In this episode of The Gardener’s Lodge Podcast, I’m joined by relationship therapist and author Karin Blak to explore mindful gardening, the emotional benefits of growing your own food, and how sharing a garden can bring couples and families closer together. We discuss practical ways to practise mindfulness in the garden, from observing bees and pollinators to noticing the scents and textures of plants, alongside gardening with children and finding nature in urban spaces. Discover how everyday gardening tasks can create space for deeper conversations and a more meaningful connection with the natural world.
