A few weeks ago I bought a banana tree at our local farmers market. I'm certainly looking forward to the banana bloom in a year or so.
While spending time outdoors, I got to thinking how gardening and yard work is good for the soul! Here are some benefits to planting your own garden!
Improve your health.
Consuming more fresh fruits and vegetables is one of the most important things you can do to stay healthy. The vitamin content will be at its highest and there's no harmful chemicals.
Save money on groceries.
Groceries are expensive… especially now! You can grow your own fruits and vegetables for a fraction of the cost.
Get outdoor exercise.
Gardening is a physical activity and pulling weeds, planting, and digging can burn up to 400 calories per hour. Hello burn! And yes, remember your sunscreen.
Gardening is a natural stress reliever.
The fresh air. The sunshine. Both of which can really improve your mood. Bring on the happy and feel rejuvenated! If this sounds great to you, head to your local planting store and get ready to feel accomplished!
If this sounds great to you then it's time to head to your local planting store! Plant your own garden and decorate your own soul. Get ready to feel accomplished!
Please note: this is the only thing I've panted so far...
