Jen Kardos is a licensed mental health therapist, certified functional medicine health coach (NBC-HWC), and horticultural therapy practitioner who helps people reduce stress and reconnect with nature through simple, low-maintenance gardening. A lifelong gardener and mom of three, she knows how important realistic, time-saving solutions are for busy lives. Through her therapy, coaching, and work with Earthmind Practice (formerly Backyard Abundance), Jen has helped individuals and families cultivate more calm, resilience, and well-being. She believes the garden can be a place not just to grow food, but to grow steadiness, joy, and ease.
