If you're curious about participating in school garden programs, gardening at any age, and the use of therapy in gardening, you will love this episode with my great urban farming pal, Bobbie Mabe. She has a masters in professional counseling and a passion for gardening that she's blended to create a horticultural therapy practice for all ages called Growth Through Gardening.
