Gretchen Fullido battles anxiety by caring for her plants: ‘Always therapeutic’

TV news anchor and certified plantita Gretchen Fullido finds it “therapeutic” and healthy to attend to her plants during her free time.

Fullido spoke about how gardening eases her mind via her Instagram page yesterday, Aug. 18, as she posted a photo of her plants.

“Re-arranging my plants has always been soooo therapeutic for me. Yes, the house is still a jungle but trying a different approach this time,” she said.

Fullido explained why she particularly has to “fix” the area she showed.

“[This] is one corner where the plant babies get natural sunlight (afternoon sun) — the other plants are scattered in other parts of the house and in my “propagation center” — aka the guest room, bathroom, by all the windows [and] other rooms,” she said, promising to show more photos soon.

“This is how I battle anxiety…” she added. “For me, indoor gardening, propagating, rearranging and moving my plants around the house is how I feel productive when I’m at home — all year ’round aside from decluttering (major major decluttering this ECQ season 3).”

Aside from being a plantita, Fullido is also a known animal rights advocate and supporter of environmental causes. JB
