One week before the COVID-19 lockdowns, Veronica Moore, a plant therapy advocate, entrepreneur and educator, visited her local nursery to grab some new plants, hoping they would lift her late winter blues.
-“Plant therapy is real,” says Veronica Moore, of Brown Skin Plant Mama-Photo/Submitted
And lift them they did.
Little did Moore know that that short trip would bring her back full circle to her childhood, comfort her in her grief over the loss of her sister, and spark a new business venture geared towards helping others.
Brown Skin Plant Mama, Moore’s plant therapy practice, is described as a place that welcomes the interest in and exploration of growing plants and food and the impact that can have on our lives. There is no question on the ability of plants and gardens to heal our mind, body and spirit, Moore said.
