Barbara Lawson lost her mother at the age of 24 due to congestive heart failure. Grappling with her grief, Lawson noticed that there are not enough outlets for people to step away from their daily lives and process their emotions. With this realization, she created a business called Meet Me in The Dirt.
Meet Me in the Dirt is a plant shop that allows customers to take a moment and partake in a unique form of self-care through gardening, planting and meditation. Through her own journey of dealing with loss, Lawson shares how her experiences shaped who she is now and taught her how to move forward in a positive way.
