Yes! And let's call them "Gaia Gardens." I consider this a form of holistic indigeneity ~ we non-Indigenous people are being called home by our Mother, and based on our literal world-view (from space, and of the climate crisis), we need to become indigenous to Earth. Working with the soil (no gloves) has been proven a more effective anti-depressant than pharmaceuticals. And it releases the same endogynous opioids in our system that are released when a nursing infant bonds with its mother. GET IT?
