GARDENING AS A HEALING RITUAL
Planting something can be a quiet act of defiance against despair — a way to honor grief, tend to memory, or simply return to something living when words fall short.
Gardening becomes a ritual when it’s done with intention, not perfection.
You might explore:
- Creating a remembrance garden or grief planter
- Choosing symbolic plants tied to a person, season, or feeling
- Using soil work as grounding during stress or sorrow
- Tending plants as a long-term legacy of love
Even small gestures — a single bulb, a potted herb — can carry meaning.
WANT TO PARTNER WITH SCRIPTED AND BE AN ALLY?
We’d love to connect with grief-informed gardeners, herbalists, and community growers who use plants as part of their care practice.
If you help people connect with land, memory, or growth through gardening — especially in small, accessible ways — let’s talk.
