This weekend, we had the joy of sitting down with gardener, educator, and author Brian Brigantti for a heartfelt conversation about the deeper joys of growing your own food. Known for his inspiring journey from city life to the garden, Brian shared insights from his new book, Gardening for Abundance: Your Guide to Cultivating a Bountiful Veggie Garden and a Happier Life. The conversation touched on everything from practical gardening tips to the emotional and spiritual benefits of connecting with the land. Brian’s passion for growing food as a form of self-care and empowerment shone through as he reflected on how gardening has shaped his lifestyle and mindset.

Whether you're looking to start your first veggie garden or deepen your connection to nature, Brian’s wisdom will leave you feeling inspired, grounded, and ready to dig in.Resource Links: https://www.amazon.com/Plants-Superpo... https://www.fertilome.com/Join our gardening podcast and radio show Garden America LIVE every Saturday from 8-10 AM Pacific Time on Facebook.
