About this Event

Curious why plants and nature make us feel so good, and what science tells us about it?

Join for an outdoor workshop exploring the neuroscience of cognitive resilience and sustained capacity through hands-on gardening and sensory experience.

🔔 What to expect

  • Insights from brain research and psychology on how nature builds resilience against cognitive fatigue and stressful conditions
  • Hands-on gardening and sensory exploration (yes, you'll get your hands dirty)
  • Understanding why your brain needs nature to function at its best
  • Practical tools for building mental capacity at work and in daily life
  • Green gift to take home

✏️ No gardening experience needed, just bring curiosity and a notebook, and get ready to see the natural world (and your own mind) in a new way.

🧩 Includes: science-based content, gardening materials, sensory activities, and a take-home surprise

🔎 About the host

Hi, I’m Marion, a neuroscientist (PhD) and founder of The Plant Wisdom Project.

Through my research on brain plasticity and passion for gardening, I became fascinated by how we can shape our environment for positive change, especially through nature.

I love creating spaces where people can slow down, learn, and connect with nature and each other. Experiencing how tending to plants builds mental clarity, calm and resilience.
