You know how it goes, especially in those tempting first spring-like days: You’re barely out of bed before you’re out in the garden having at it. And then, by day’s end, your body’s screaming that maybe, just maybe, you overdid it a little. 

Well, let’s slow down and get more mindful, and take better care of our most important gardening tool: our body. Let’s get GardenFit, with help from Season 2 of the public television program by that name, with help from its creator. 

Madeline Hooper, a former public relations executive and passionate gardener, created the GardenFit program in 2022 for public television. The format is a series of visits to private gardens nationwide, combined with lessons with the gardener behind each landscape on how to garden smarter, how to fine-tune our movements to maximize performance and minimize injury. Now, Season 2 has just debuted and she shared some of the tuneups she learned along the way.
