Plant a little positivity this winter by getting into your garden. Longtime garden lovers already know it’s therapeutic – and science backs this up.
People who spend time living, looking, and working in and around nature are generally thought to be happier and to have better health. Studies have found being surrounded by greenery can help reduce stress and tiredness and give your brain a boost.
Other benefits include a strengthened immune system, dexterity, and stimulation for your creative and decision making processes.
Plus, gardening is an unexpected physical workout! About three hours of moderate gardening activity can equal one hour at the gym.
Now that the shorter winter days are here make some time to get out into your garden and feel the benefits. Herbs like coriander, parsley, and thyme can be planted in winter – try Pohlmans Hidden Valley Herbs for your winter therapy session.
