  • Summary

  • What if the secret to a happy life is to live seasonally? Living seasonally isn’t just about eating fresh produce (but, yes, that’s delicious). It’s about noticing nature’s rhythms, then adjusting depending on the season and celebrating those small shifts that define the passage of time.And with the Spring Equinox here, which is a time of renewal and balance, it’s the perfect moment to talk about how we can welcome the season with intention. I’m joined by a dear friend Bailey Van Tassel—a mom, gardener, author of Kitchen Garden Living, and someone who’s really committed to living a more seasonal lifestyle.In this episode, we learn:[00:00] What is the secret to living seasonally?[03:15] What is Bailey’s journey into seasonal living?[07:00] How Bailey reconnected with nature[09:08] What really matters in gardening[12:26] The science behind gardening[13:50] How does biophilia explain our connection to plants?[15:00] Find a moment of calm and soothe your spirit with Wind River Chimes![16:41] Nourish your plants and your soul this spring with Espoma Organic’s all-natural products![18:43] Why permaculture is useful in living seasonally[20:09] How did Bailey’s garden evolve?[25:55] Personal growth through gardening[27:50] How gardening helps with anxiety and depression[28:52] What does it mean to truly live seasonally?[31:06] Winter vs spring in terms of energy and rhythm[33:48] What practices can you do to honor the Spring Equinox?[36:59] Why is it important to involve children in gardening?[42:19] Where can you find Bailey and her book ‘Kitchen Garden Living’ on social media?Mentioned in our conversation:Brie the Plant LadyKitchen Garden Living by Bailey Van TasselFor Bailey's simple yet special recommendations on how to live seasonally,check out the full show notes and blog here!Follow Bailey:WebsitePodcastInstagramYouTubeThank you to our episode sponsors:Wind River ChimesVisit windriverchimes.com and use code GROWINGJOY to receive free engraving on your chosen wind chimes.Espoma OrganicVisit espoma.com to find your local Espoma dealer or check my Amazon storefront.Follow Maria and Growing Joy:Order my book: Growing Joy: The Plant Lover's Guide to Cultivating Happiness (and Plants) by Maria Failla, Illustrated by Samantha LeungJoin the Bloom and Grow Garden Party Community Platform & App AKA the plantiest and kindest corner of the internet!
