Gardening for the Soul:
why your garden is healing...
"The glory of gardening: hands in the dirt, head in the sun, heart with nature. To nurture a garden is to feed not just the body, but the soul." - Alfred Austin
...Healing gardens are good for your soul and morale. They can improve your mood and help with depression, and they have even been proven to increase our physical wellbeing.
...Gardening offers therapeutic benefits by providing a calming connection to nature, which reduces stress and anxiety.
...The physical activity involved improves overall health, promoting better cardiovascular function and increased strength.
...And last but not least, the act of nurturing plants fosters a sense of purpose and accomplishment, which can alleviate symptoms of depression. Spending time outdoors and in sunlight also boosts mood by increasing serotonin levels.
