A SoCal woman's idea for a mobile plant nursery is blooming, and it's helping others work through tough times.
TORRANCE, Calif. -- At the beginning of the pandemic, Barbara Lawson converted a van into a mobile plant nursery, allowing her to host what she calls"Meet Me in the Dirt" parties. It's a form of counseling through plants.
The idea sparked after her own mother died and she experienced her own healing. Grief was complicated, but she was able to navigate through it in the yard with her plants. Now, on top of selling plants and teaching people how to care for them, she also teaches people to care for themselves through therapeutic services, customized memorial gardens and"In the Dirt" parties.
