Listen "58. From Soil to Soul: How Gardening Can Save Your Health and the Planet with Matthieu Meyhus & All the Things✨"
Episode Synopsis
Today, we’re taking a journey from soil to soul.
Lately, I’ve been discovering my own passion for plants—their beauty, resilience, and the way they connect us to something bigger. It’s been a personal journey that’s made me appreciate how something as simple as a garden can offer joy, clarity, and even healing. That’s why I’m so excited for this conversation with Matthieu.
My guest is Matthieu Meyhus, a landscape architect, educator, and passionate advocate for regenerative gardening and sustainable farming. Matthieu's journey began on a family farm in Belgium and has blossomed into a career dedicated to designing gardens that heal both the earth and our well-being.
We truly cover so much ground in this episode (yes - pun intended).
In this episode, we explore the critical role of soil health, the science of regenerative practices, and how small steps like growing your own garden or supporting local farmers can make a monumental impact. Matthieu shares his wisdom on the hidden power of weeds, the connection between soil microorganisms and human health, and why gardening might just be the most hopeful revolution we can start in our own backyards.
Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or just starting out, this conversation will leave you inspired to cultivate change—for yourself, your community, and the planet. So grab your gardening gloves, and let’s dig in with Matthieu Meyhus & All the Things✨
