🌿 Gardening for Wellness | Here’s the Tea on 100 Pounds Down
Hey Cultivator, it’s Angeline 🌸
Gardening for Wellness completely changed my life. My 100-pound weight-loss journey didn’t start in a gym — it started in my garden. Through tending plants, growing herbs, and eating from what I grew, I rebuilt my energy, health, and confidence from the ground up.
🌱 How Gardening for Wellness Began
My first step toward wellness was simple: movement in the garden. Watering, planting, and pruning replaced traditional workouts. Each small action strengthened my body while quieting my mind. I stopped counting calories and began counting harvests.
Every seed became a symbol of growth, patience, and self-care — the heart of Gardening for Wellness.
🌿 The Wellness Benefits of Gardening
1. Natural daily movement
Every motion in the garden — lifting soil, trimming herbs, carrying water — keeps your body active without forcing it.
2. Nourishing fresh food
Harvesting kale, peppers, and herbs from my indoor Gardyn system brought real food to my table and encouraged balanced, mindful eating.

3. Herbal tea rituals
Hibiscus, lemongrass, mint, and stevia became part of my tea routine, replacing sugary drinks with natural sweetness and calm.
4. A slower mindset
Gardening teaches patience and presence — lessons that support both mental and physical wellness.
🌸 Herbs That Support Gardening for Wellness
Hibiscus (Roselle): Bright red calyces rich in antioxidants and vitamin C.
Lemongrass: Helps digestion and adds fresh citrus flavor to teas.
Mint: Supports hydration and balances cravings.
Stevia: A natural sweetener for zero-calorie tea or desserts.
Aloe Vera: Soothes and supports digestion when juiced lightly.
These herbs became staples in my Gardening for Wellness journey, helping me stay consistent and grounded.
🌞 Creating Your Wellness Garden
You don’t need a large yard — a few pots by a window can start your Gardening for Wellness routine.
Place herbs on your kitchen counter for easy use.
Keep a Gardyn or vertical tower indoors for leafy greens.
Add one Aloe or mint pot near your workspace for daily inspiration.

🌿 The Real “Tea” on 100 Pounds Down
There was no magic shake or strict plan — just the rhythm of Gardening for Wellness.
I moved, harvested, cooked, and drank what I grew. Each plant supported me physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Over time, the weight released, and balance returned naturally.

🌾 Final Thoughts
Gardening for Wellness is about growing more than plants — it’s about growing yourself. My transformation didn’t come from deprivation but from nurturing life daily.
Start small. Tend one plant. Brew your own tea. Let the garden remind you that slow growth still counts.
Stay Green Always
