Dig in the Dirt

Connect with nature through hands-on gardening activities that promote mindfulness and well-being in a serene natural setting. Dig in the Dirt will take place on Friday, March 28 at Patch of Heaven Sanctuary's Taste Garden in the Mindful Pocket Park.

This interactive experience offers visitors the opportunity to engage directly with soil and plants while learning about the stress-reducing and creativity-enhancing benefits of gardening. Research suggests that direct contact with soil can foster a deeper connection to the natural environment while providing therapeutic advantages for participants.

Patch of Heaven Sanctuary, the host organization, focuses on creating meaningful relationships between humans and nature through mindfulness-based experiences designed to benefit both ecosystems and individuals.

As part of the Miami Climate Week event lineup, this activity highlights sustainable practices and environmental stewardship while offering attendees a practical way to engage with climate-related issues through direct participation in garden activities.
