I used to buy ladybugs and release them with my kids, and in less than an hour, every single little pollinator would have disappeared. So trust me when I say this is a waste of time and money. Instead of introducing ladybugs that come from afar, you can attract tons of ladybugs that live nearby, so they come and live in your garden.

Vitamins versus Vegetables
Half of American adults are taking some kind of vitamin or supplement, according to Johns Hopkins Medicine. That’s probably why the global market is expected to reach 250 billion USD by 2032!

Imagine stepping outside and picking the nutrients your body is craving. In this episode, I’ll show you the most popular vitamins and supplements people are buying and how you can replace them with whole foods from your garden. Because whole foods 🥦 still beat pills 💊 every single time. Check out our planting guide to learn more about how you can grow these foods in your garden: Disclaimer: I’m not a doctor.

Starting a Garden Changed My Whole Life

Starting a Garden Changed My Whole Life
Before I started gardening, I was addicted to food and struggled with a very low self image. It wasn’t until I traveled overseas that I saw how growing fresh food can change the way you eat, the way you interact with nature, and the entire rhythm of your day. Taking up gardening changed the way I ate, the way I moved my body, and the way I felt about myself. It literally changed my whole life. In this episode, I tell you my 10 “hacks” for living a healthier lifestyle that I learned from gardening. These lessons are not about being skinny or having a perfect body. They’re about how you FEEL, how much energy you have to get through your day. They’re not part of a fad or a diet. They’re a lifestyle, and they can change your life too. Head’s up: I talk a lot about 💩 in this episode, not to be offensive or crude. Your gut just plays a huge part in being healthy. Speaking of, watch the video I made about how gardening can help you poop: Thanks for being a part of Gardenary! If you liked this episode, help us grow by sharing it with a friend!
