Whether you are a vegetable gardener or not this episode is PACKED with wisdom from my guest, Sarah Cate. She shares what God taught her as she approached a brand new hobby (spoiler alert: it's gardening) and how He used this seemingly insignificant decision to transform her view of God and growth.  Show notes: http://dustyhegge.com/podcast/043

This episode is directly from Get Planty Course in the Growth Mindset module. Here is an excerpt: "When we come into contact with great art, we don’t say, “Look at what this piece of art made!” That would be ridiculous. Even saying that sentence out loud, it doesn’t make sense. Instead, we say, “Who made this incredible painting? I bet she worked so hard to create it. It’s beautiful!.” Then we look at it. We soak it up. We let that piece of art sink in, and we start to feel all the emotions that come flooding to the front of our minds. Emotions, memories, thoughts-- all inspired by a beautiful piece of art thoughtfully and intentionally made. That need to create and experience creation in all forms is a trait we get from our Father: paintings that evoke emotion, a photograph that takes our breath away, a song that inspires us, a meal that brings us joy and comfort, a home that creates a safe space for our bodies and hearts to grow. Art is important, and crediting the artist is far more important than simply experiencing a work of art and moving on."

Today we are talking photosynthesis! Photosynthesis is the process by which houseplants create their own food. Which is pretty incredible, right!? Outdoors, in their native habitat, they grow in such a way that they can utilize the resources around them to actually feed themselves! Indoors WE are responsible for facilitating a plant in doing this well. There are three MAIN elements responsible for photosynthesis. Carbon dioxide, water, and light. All three so important and all three very misunderstood by most houseplant collectors. We’re gonna break down each element a little deeper unpacking WHY the plant needs it, how the plant collects it, and what we can do as houseplant collectors to facilitate the plant in doing so. Then we’ll dive into some personal application we can learn from studying, science, and what God has to teach us today through the science of how plants grow. It’s gonna be a good one! ** PLEASE take a moment to leave an iTunes review! I am so deeply grateful for every single one.
