In a world of constant connectivity, the simple act of gardening offers more than just fresh herbs or pretty flowers—it offers restoration. This interactive session explores how gardening serves as a mindful, grounding practice that combats digital fatigue, encourages presence, and restores balance. Participants will examine the psychological and physiological benefits of gardening, explore parallels between digital wellness and plant cultivation, and leave with practical strategies to use gardening as a tool for tech-life balance in schools, workplaces, or at home.
