Life Lessons Learned From Plants

Life Lessons Learned From Plants

Life provides countless opportunities each day to practice self-awareness and reflection. For some of us, such introspection happens when we exercise or meditate. For others, it naturally occurs when we’re in touch with nature.

Today I speak with author Marcus Bridgewater, also known as the uber-popular Garden Marcus on social media. Marcus argues that nurturing plants also helps us grow as people, and so he’s on the show to divulge 5 life lessons he’s learned that are rooted in his time in his garden.

 

Here’s a preview of the life lessons discussed today:

[4:30] You can’t make anyone flourish, but you can nurture an environment conducive to flourishing. Here’s how

[6:30] The importance of patience, awareness, and self-observation in the garden and in life

[17:15] Sharing the fruits of your success with others for the benefit of both your community and yourself
