Julie Brunson from H.O.P.E. Gardens, on school gardens, regenerative gardens, gardens for healing, and helping other people eat.

Julie Brunson didn’t garden as a child, but began to garden and grow food as an adult. When her husband was in a dark place and found solace in their garden, the garden not only fed them, it helped him to heal.

That was the start of a journey into teaching kids about regenerative gardening, and also using the garden as a way to touch on a host of other topics including social justice, mental health, and nutrition.
