These episodes are meant to be your bite-sized lessons about how to use nature to bring joy into your life. And in this first episode, inspired by our recent interview on aromatic gardening, we’re going to talk about 5 practical steps to incorporate scent into our daily routines.


In this episode, we learn:
  • [00:26] What these mini-episodes are about
  • [01:18] Why smell is important for memory and stress relief
  • [02:39] #1 Going for a restorative post-rain walk
  • [03:21] #2 Utilizing essential oils
