Nurtured Nature
Gianna Waldron
Nurtured Nature is a unique and innovative app designed to support and nurture your mental well-being through the art of gardening and self-reflection. This app seamlessly combines the therapeutic benefits of gardening with the practice of journaling, providing users with a creative and engaging way to track their mental health journey.
Gardening can improve many aspects of mental health, focus, and concentration. Gardening can make you feel peaceful and content. The user will answer a question every day that helps with shadow work. Through shadow work, the user can improve their mental health by working with their unconscious mind to uncover the parts of themselves that can be repressed and hidden. This can include trauma or parts of their personality that they subconsciously consider undesirable. Another important aspect of the app is floriography, which is simply a fancy name for the language of flowers. Within the art of floriography, each flower carries its own special meaning or symbolism. This can also be influenced by its variety and color. Each flower in the app was hand-painted to mimic the hands-on act of gardening.
Combining all these aspects, Nurtured Nature isn't just an app, it's a companion on your mental health journey. By integrating the calming influence of gardening with the power of introspection, this app encourages self-discovery, resilience, and emotional healing. Whether you're seeking a mental health tracker, a digital journal, or a creative outlet, Nurtured Nature provides a safe and nurturing space for your emotions to bloom.
