Gardening Like a Goddam Queen: Horticultural Healing with Kendall Platt

Laura Styles Season 2 Episode 4

Episode 4, Season 2 : Kendall Platt on Mindful Gardening, Breaking the Cycle & Modelling Rest to Our Kids

What began as a practical way to spruce up her garden turned into something much deeper for Kendall - a way to finally quiet her busy mind and reconnect with herself.

In this heart-opening episode, I chat to Kendall, founder of Adventures With Flowers, about how tending to her garden transformed her mental health and sparked a mission to help other women reconnect with their own needs, through the healing power of horticultural therapy.

We talk about:
🌱 Why gardening became a sacred act of self-care after the birth of her daughter
🌱 The power of women connecting side by side - without pressure or pretense
🌱 Modelling rest, boundaries, and emotional awareness to our kids
🌱 Our views on homework, community connection, and gardening in even the tiniest spaces

Kendall’s work is rooted in breaking cycles, reclaiming space for joy and rest, and helping women find their calm - one plant at a time.

Whether you have a wild garden, a window box, desires for some green space in your corporate office, or a dream of slowing down, this one will leave you feeling inspired and grounded.
