Spaces that generate life
Why do some plants seem to survive everything, while others die as soon as you look at them?
It’s not magic, it’s the environment.
Light, humidity, type of plant, and more make the difference.
I will make sure you understand all of this through videos, comments, and links with recommendations that can help you.
BENEFITS
SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN
There are many scientific studies that show how contact with plants, soil, and nature can improve health, boost the immune system, enhance overall well-being, and reduce stress. Below, I share some of the most relevant ones:
IMPROVES MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH
According to a study published in Preventive Medicine Reports (2017), regular gardening reduces stress, anxiety, and depression, significantly improving emotional well-being.
Van Den Berg, A. E., & Custers, M. H. G. (2017). Gardening for health: A regular dose of gardening. Preventive Medicine Reports, 5, 92-98.
BALANCES THE NERVOUS SYSTEM
According to research published in the Journal of Environmental and Public Health (2012), walking barefoot on the earth can reduce inflammation, improve sleep, and balance the nervous system. (Chevalier, De Seze, & Lande, 2012).

IMPROVES CIRCULATORY SYSTEM FUNCTION
According to a study published in Environmental Health and Preventive Medicine (2010), spending time in nature reduces cortisol (the stress hormone) and improves cardiovascular function.

Hello, I’m Mariana!
It’s fascinating to learn from nature.
Since I was little, I’ve spent thousands of hours in the garden, experimenting and learning about plants, soil, and nature.
Over the years, I’ve specialized in environmental studies, obtaining certifications in Biomimicry, Permaculture, and accreditation in the Living Building Challenge, the world’s most rigorous sustainable building certification. Additionally, I completed a master’s degree in Sustainable Design, Construction, and Architecture, where I focused on landscape regeneration through water.
Over time, I realized that to have healthy plants and improve our environment, we must first strengthen our connection with the environment we live in.
Since many friends were asking me how to do it, I decided to create this project and share my knowledge through videos to help more people with the same questions.
I invite you to watch my videos and leave me your comments.
I will be immensely happy to know they are helpful to you!
