7 Reasons Why Gardening is Good for You
By:Jenny S. (Garden Expert) | Apr 20th, 2023
Most people strive to live a healthy life. They participate in activities that are good for their physical and mental well-being. Some of us practice living a healthy life better than other people do. If you havent been living your best life lately know that it is never too late to start. Whether it is practicing healthy eating habits, daily exercise, meditation, prayer, journaling or doing acts of good deeds, all of these activities can all be considered good for you activities. These activities may require hard work, failure, and sacrifice but in the end, they will help make you feel healthier.
Why Gardening is Good for You
Grow Your Own Food!
1.) Grow Your Own Food!
One of the most known benefits of gardening is growing your own food. There is a wide world of edible plants to be explored. People love to grow tomatoes, potatoes, herbs, onions, asparagus, and a rainbow of other vegetables and fruits at home. If you choose to grow your own food you know exactly what fertilizers, pesticides, and fungicides were or werent used on your food. There is comfort in knowing what was used to produce your food.
Vitamin D Is Good For You
2.) Vitamin D Is Good For You
Not every day in the garden will be sunny. If you are lucky enough to be outside on a sunny day Vitamin D will be good for you! According to Healthline getting Vitamin D from the sun can help fight diseases such as the flu, reduce depression, and boost weight loss.These full sun perennials are perfect for Spring time planting!
Digging in the Dirt & Pulling Weeds is an Excellent Workout
3.) Digging in the Dirt & Pulling Weeds is an Excellent Workout
When I work in our yard pulling weeds and planting perennials, I always feel the burn in my glutes, hamstrings, and core section. If you arent fond of traditional workout routines that can seem like a chore gardening may be the answer. An effective way to get your exercise is to work out in a non-traditional way.
Failure and Success are Great Tools for Personal Growth
4.) Failure and Success are Great Tools for Personal Growth
Seasoned gardeners will tell you they have experienced many failures in their gardening endeavors as well as many success stories. Although it may sound clich, without failure it is difficult to appreciate success. Every flower bulb you have planted that didnt grow helps you appreciate the 10 flower bulbs you have that are growing!
5.) Pass Down the Skill of Gardening to Younger Generations
Teaching your knowledge and skills in the garden is rewarding. Passing down your love of digging in the dirt to your children and grandchildren can make you feel good.
Working in the garden with a member of your family you get to enjoy double the rewards. You can appreciate the benefits of your hard work and labor. You also get to see someone you love to appreciate the benefits of the hard work and labor you enjoyed together. Teaching people about your favorite flowers and gardening techniques helps you stay sharp while spreading good knowledge to the world.
Microbes in the Soil Can be an Anti-Depressant
6.) Microbes in the Soil Can be an Anti-Depressant
I have always felt better when I was able to dig in the dirt. Whether it was mud between my toes or a healthy potting mix when planting perennials I always felt better. Little did I know that there is science behind this good feeling of getting your hands dirty.
The Anticipation & Excitement of Waiting for Blooms Brings Happiness
7.) The Anticipation & Excitement of Waiting for Blooms Brings Happiness
Living in a cold climate state like Wisconsin can be tiring during the gloomy winter months. It is hard to practice most of the points 1-6 above when the earth around you is frozen. However, there are always silver linings. When you plant your flower bulbs the anticipation of waiting for them to sprout after a long winter is exciting!
There are More Than 7 Reasons Why Gardening is Good
As a person that has played in the dirt, picked flowers and helped pick green beans as a kid I have always loved to garden. I chose plants as my profession and can think of more than 7 reasons why gardening is good for you. When I first started working with plants in my 20s I didnt always have someone to talk about my love of plants with. Often, I felt isolated in my love for trees, bulbs, perennials, and flowers. I have been concerned that gardening and an appreciation for plants was dying with younger generations.
My hope is as people age, become homeowners and enjoy the simple things in life their appreciation for gardening will increase. And the good of gardening will make them lifelong plant peddlers, and garden enthusiasts. Lets all do our part to help spread the good of gardening to younger generations. And hope this healthy pastime continues to be a positive part of our daily lives.
