The Spirituality of Gardening (Yes, Even the Dead Plants Count)

Gardening is lowkey a spiritual practice and I’m not just talking about sunshine and fresh air. I mean actual Earth magic. Tending to plants is a form of energy work. It’s healing. It’s grounding. When you garden, you’re not just planting seeds, you’re casting spells. You’re co-creating with nature. You’re activating your root and heart chakras just by pulling weeds or whispering to your herbs. Whether your basil’s thriving or your fiddle leaf is looking a little crispy, it still counts. Every plant is part of your spiritual practice, even the ones that die.
