Why does gardening make you feel so good? It must be that back-to-basics, no-bullshit, feel-good feeling of doing something so carnal, so physical and so fulfilling.
Enjoy multi-tasking? Gardening is the ultimate multi-task, so full of purpose and provider of general wellbeing. You’re exercising, you’re soaking up essential vitamin D, and not to mention you’re creating the best food you’ll find anywhere – not in your local market but in your own backyard.
10 health benefits of gardening
- soil microbes boost your immune system
- sunshine and vitamin D – you can’t live without it!
- endless learning and observation strengthen the mind
- the freshest food you’ll find – with those disease-fighting enzymes still alive and kickin’
- a heightened awareness of your own existence
- increased chance of survival when disaster strikes (hint: it’s already struck)
- get the children into it and they’ll benefit from true, real education
- help out the pollinators — they’re on the decline, you know
- regenerate the soil — once the soil’s dead, we’re dead
- disconnect to reconnect
