Ep 128 Planting with Purpose: The Magic of Intention Gardens
About this episode
Ever wondered if your garden could do more than just look pretty? What if your garden was a living ritual—a space that grows healing, love, or abundance alongside your veggies?
In this soulful, cheeky, and dirt-under-the-fingernails episode, Esther dives headfirst into the world of intention gardens—purpose-driven garden spaces where every plant holds meaning. From prosperity patches with basil and mint, to calming healing beds of rosemary and chamomile, and even a flirtatious little love garden with roses and strawberries... this episode is packed with plant magic (and a few garden confessions).
🌿 You’ll learn:
· What an intention garden really is (no fluffy jargon here)
· The difference between a garden that’s pretty vs. powerful
· Three themed beds to get started: Prosperity, Healing, and Love
· How adding simple rituals to your gardening routine can boost mindfulness, motivation, and even joy
· Easy, no-pressure tips for starting your own intention garden—even if it’s just one pot and one whispered wish
✨ Plus: Esther’s honest take on the white butterfly massacre, why kale is currently stealing the show, and how strawberries are taking over the family fruit stall (hydroponics and all!).
