Join Me for a Weed-a-Thon at BB Lane Gardens

Yes, you read that right—Weeding. Together. On purpose.

Hear me out.

Weeding is wildly therapeutic. I’m not kidding. There’s something about getting your hands in the dirt, pulling stubborn roots, and watching a messy patch transform into something open and clean—it does something to your soul. It’s one of the best mood-lifters I know. And I want to invite you to come experience it with me.

Let me tell you a story.

Back when I ran a community garden, there was one gardener—let’s just say she wasn’t exactly a ray of sunshine. She’d grumble, snap, complain... and to be honest, she wasn’t very kind to me either. But one day, I came back after she’d been weeding for a couple of hours, and I had to do a double take.

Her whole demeanor had changed. She was smiling. Relaxed. Even cheerful. Her face looked brighter—like she’d had a mini face-lift. That was my ah-ha moment. This wasn’t just a fluke. Gardening, and especially weeding, is powerful stuff.

While I have a background in psychology, I’m not offering formal therapy here—but don’t worry, you’re safe with me. BB Lane Gardens is a judgment-free zone. Bring your frustrations, your stress, your weird week, and put it all into those weeds. Rip ‘em out. Destroy them. These are heady times we’re living through—let’s channel it productively.

Worried you can’t get down to the ground? I know that feeling!. Honestly, squatting and stretching are healing too. Your body wants to move like this—it just might need a little help remembering how.

There are so many benefits to weeding. Yet we often pay someone else to do it. (Funny, right?) Even funnier, is that one time I paid someone and they weeded my beloved poppies.

So... if I’ve convinced you—or even if you’re just a little bit curious—come join me for a Weed-a-Thon at BB Lane Gardens, now through the end of May. You’ll get:

  • Fresh air

  • Therapeutic dirt time

  • Food and drinks on me

  • Optional dips in the water (because we all deserve a little luxury after weeding)

  • Good company and some real-life mood magic

Let’s turn a chore into a healing ritual.

At Lunaria Estate, I am reviving the time-honored tradition of the Still Room—a sacred space where herbal wisdom meets modern well-being with luxury in mind. We believe true wellness is intentional, hands-on and deeply personal. There is no one -size-fits all to healing or wellbeing. It is a journey that needs constant revision and editing to be the healthiest version of oneself.

Lunaria Estate is a private residence that provides an in person platform for people who want to see what it takes for me to incorporate the following into my home: a Still Room/ blending room and a grow room for personal use. The herbs and flowers are grown at BB Lane Gardens, where tours can be arranged.
