The Many Benefits Of Gardening
A Floraldaily.com article discusses how many people started a garden during the COVID-19 pandemic because they could now work
from home. Suddenly people had more time at home, and life slowed down from the busyness that held them back from enjoying their hobbies. People also stayed home and upgraded their homes and landscaping into a summer backyard oasis.
Imagine stepping outside into your own backyard, picking herbs and vegetables from your garden to cook for dinner. If you have a patio in your backyard, you can even grill your food and eat outside with your family. There is something so
relaxing about being outdoors in nature, surrounded by plants, looking at the birds, and hearing them chirping away excitedly.
Good Housekeeping published an article about the benefits gardening have on your mind and body:
-
Burns a lot of calories

-

-

I can certainly attest to many of those benefits! Do you have a garden? What benefits does gardening bring to you and your family?
