The Well-Tended Life

The Well-Tended Life Podcast is all about intentional living, that’s inspired by my great-great-grandmother’s classic book “The Secret Garden”. A Well-Tended Life is not a set it and forget it life, nor is it a perfect life. It is worked on every day, in the sunshine and through the storms. And the truth is, what worked in our life-gardens last season, may not work in the next. That’s why here at The Well-Tended Life Podcast, we interview people who have grown and bloomed true in a variety of seasons and are willing to share their well-tended wisdom and weed-whacking advice with us!This season we are going to talk about: Rest, Fear, Addiction, Busyness, Growth, grief, Friendship, Relationships, Time Management, Self Care, Pivots, Expectations, Wandering, Gratitude, Overcoming, Hard Work, Goals/Intentions, Relationships, Health, Fitness, Change, Secrets, Letting Go, and so much More! So, meet me back here each week and we will dig in together to discover what’s keeping you locked up tighter than The Secret Garden and unearth the tools that will keep you growing and blooming through every season.“Where you tend a rose…a thistle cannot grow.” - The Secret Garden

Episode 48: Secret Garden Secrets Revealed with Nina Veteto

October 11, 2023 • Keri Wilt

I cannot wait for you to listen to this episode with Nina Veteto of Blue Ridge Botanic. We chat about life and beauty, flora and fauna, and reveal the back stories behind some of the most important characters in The Secret Garden.

Here are a few Heart Taps from this episode:

Lean into the things that you always wanted to do, but never allowed yourself to do.
We are wired for stories…it’s how we connect.
The plants around us are incredible teachers.
Get Outside and Re-Connect to the plant world.
Make time for the thing that feeds your soul.
Each and every one of us is creative ny nature…so explore what that looks like for you.

ABOUT THE GUEST…in her own words:
I’m Nina! A long time forager, explorer, plant lover & art maker. I live in the beautiful Blue Ridge mountains of NC surrounded by the inspiration—and materials—I bring to my art. For as long as I can remember, I have been in love with the botanic world. Truth be told, I’m kind of plant-obsessed. I love growing plants & flowers, making art with them, and even using them for teas and healing.

At Blue Ridge Botanic, you’ll find information about flowers, folklore, foraging and more. Follow along, as I explore the special places and plants that inform my work and hopefully get some inspiration on how to connect to the botanic world in a more joyful, creative ways.
