Getting My Hands Dirty: Growing Food, Health, and Hope
In the second installment of The Earth-Minded Muse, CRBA member, artist, and environmental advocate Tracey Chaykin reflects on the quiet lessons waiting just outside the back door. From the restorative power of getting our hands into living soil — restoring both our own well-being and the health of the soil that nourishes our gardens — to the climate benefits of regenerative gardening, she reminds us that meaningful environmental action often begins with simple, intentional choices... and sometimes with a single seed.
Finding Inspiration for Action: Introducing the Earth-Minded Muse
Each month you’ll find a new edition of The Earth-Minded Muse here on our CRBA blog pages.
You’ll find stories from my drought-resistant garden, reflections on conservation and stewardship, and observations drawn from the beauty, resilience, and vulnerability of the natural world.
This column is for those who want to feel encouraged rather than overwhelmed, inspired rather than defeated, and connected rather than alone in the work of caring for our planet.
