Miley Cyrus has expressed her passion for gardening, calling it “a creative outlet that isn’t about fame or success.” In a recent interview for a new cover story with Pamela Anderson for CR Fashion Book, the “Flowers” singer opened up about her love for gardening and how it supports her sobriety.
Miley told the outlet, “Gardening is something you do for yourself. When we’ve shared so much of ourselves, having those little precious times with something simple — like putting a seed in the ground and nurturing it — it becomes a very personal process.”
The “Jaded” singer went on to say, “Having that has been the medicine that’s kept me grounded in my sober lifestyle. It’s part of a practice, the way yoga might be: getting out into nature, doing something with my hands, and having a creative outlet that isn’t about fame or success.”
Recalling her dad, Billy Ray Cyrus’s words, Miley noted that her mother, Tish Cyrus, also has a great love for gardening. “My dad always said our house looked like an old folks’ home, because she’d have flowers in every single room — that was very ’90s, with all the potpourri.”
The Hannah Montana alum credited her mother with introducing her to gardening. She shared that Tish became an “incredible gardener” during the COVID-19 pandemic. “She really discovered something unique,” Miley said, adding, “A plant could be dead for a year, and she’ll bring it back to life.”
