TED Talk Tuesday #207 – Garden for the soul

TED continues to spread ideas and help us all be better critical thinkers. Watching, listening and talking about TED Talks is a popular pastime for many in the CN&CO community. We visit TED.com regularly to clear our heads, have a laugh, learn or get inspired. TED Talks open our minds, spark new ways of thinking and can lead to some very interesting conversations and business opportunities. Each week we pick a favourite and publish it on a Tuesday, because we like how “TED Talk Tuesday” sounds. It’s also a way that the CN&CO team play their part in spreading ideas and helping to make the world a better place.

This week’s talk is a playlits of a few TED talks – all focused on “gardening”. Whether you garden for beauty, for nourishment, for relaxation, for yourself or your community, these talks will inspire and delight.

Some people may think that they don’t have green fingers – when in fact they do. Others may think gardening is too expensive or time consuming. And while there is some truth to those concerns, as someone who has benefited widely from inheriting a garden from my mother and developing it further post her death, having your own green space is an amazing luxury, privilege and joy. No matter how small, try it!

Enjoy these garden talks from TED!
