Spotlight on Gardening for Tranquility: Highlighting Grow Pro Cara Kershner's Work
==============================================================================
Cara Kershner, the Grow Pro Lead at Gardenuity, is more than just a gardening expert. She is a strong advocate for the spiritual, mental, and physical benefits of gardening, and her role at Gardenuity allows her to share this passion with others.
Kershner's journey with Gardenuity began unexpectedly at an outdoor furniture warehouse, where she met Donna Letier, the CEO of Gardenuity. This meeting marked the start of a new chapter in Kershner's life, as she reconnected with gardening through the company.
Kershner values the tranquillity and connection with nature that gardening provides, making it a moment for self-reflection. She believes that spending at least 20 minutes outside each day, whether checking on her garden, taking a walk, or setting up a little office outside, contributes significantly to her holistic health.
As a holistic wellness expert, Kershner emphasises the importance of mental health in overall well-being. She considers gardening a proven way to de-stress and increase self-worth, providing a simple, everyday activity that offers appreciation for what she has grown.
Kershner's work at Gardenuity involves ensuring exceptional growing experiences for members, working alongside a passionate team dedicated to gardening. She is currently studying holistic nutrition at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, believing that growing one's own food in a personal garden can lead to healthier eating habits.
Kershner's father introduced her to gardening at a young age, instilling in her a deep respect for the process of nurturing life. She finds joy in the spiritual wellness benefits of having a designated space for gardening, which allows her to disconnect from the world and reconnect with nature.
Kershner's commitment to holistic health extends beyond gardening. She values the benefits of getting sunshine during the day, avoiding spending the entire day inside, and prioritising her outdoor activities. Whether it's tending to her garden, studying holistic nutrition, or enjoying a moment of peace in nature, Cara Kershner is a shining example of the positive impact gardening can have on one's life.
