Nature provides us with an all-natural stress buster. The magic of a garden!
For 2016, many people aim for happier lives, and gardening is shown to offer big positives in dealing with the stress of modern living.
The act of digging soil, landscaping and environment, choosing flower colors, and seed sowing a vegetable patch can make us happier. Here’s how.
The everyday use of phones, laptops, and all things technology can negatively impact mood and health. Working with plants can refresh our ability to remain focused. Repetitive tasks like weeding, digging, and pruning is an excellent physical workout. Gardening is an excellent moderate-intensity exercise.
Plant cultivation increases property value, improves air quality, and makes adults and kids happy. So go ahead and choose your garden! Enjoy life to the fullest, live a healthier lifestyle, and save money growing your food and florals.
As springtime approaches, now are the time to select seedlings for planting.
