“Gardening Makes People Happy.”

In rural America, we hear little about urban farming.
“Gardening makes people happy,” says this urban farmer in Chicago. “I do not believe we are in a bad spot with community. People know how to be together.” (Good news!)
This garden in Brooklyn is up in the air. Its High Priestess, the Manager of the Edible Academy at the New York Botanical Garden, talks fast in a New York way I miss.
This crunchy Cali textile artist makes lovely yarns from local plant dyes and animal wools. Looking at colors makes people feel good. It’s why we knit in a troubled world.
Every day, do something sensory that makes you feel good, even if it’s just watching upbeat clips like these. Keep it clean, people.
