Episode 67: How To Water Yourself The Way You Water Your Plants ft. The Plant Papi
4/29/202647 min
We've been talking to our plants for years. Turns out, they've been trying to tell us something back. In this episode, Meagan and Dagny sit down with @theplantpapi — a therapist, houseplant creator, and genuinely one of our favorite humans on the internet — to talk about what plant care can teach us about taking care of ourselves. Watering as consistency. Repotting as growth. Pruning as letting go. Dormancy as permission to rest. It's a mental health conversation disguised as a gardening episode, and we're not sorry about it. Plus rapid fire questions, houseplant tips woven throughout, and at least one moment where we accidentally got real.Our main accounts:@meggrowsplants @thecottagepeach Listen on Spotify:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-garden-girlsFollow us on Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/garden-girls-podcast/id1763113032Follow us on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/gardengirlspod/Follow us on TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@gardengirlspod\*\*\*Links\*\*\*Meg's Planting Calendar:https://meg-grows-plants.myshopify.com/collections/allEpic Gardening:https://shop.epicgardening.com/GARDENGIRLSCode for 5% off!GARDENGIRLS*These codes are affiliate links that we receive commissions from and help to support the podcast!*
