Great Reasons for Growing a Garden

DanFruits & Vegetables, This Land of Ours

great reasons gardenCathy Isom has us getting ready to get in shape by telling us why the many great reasons to growing a garden is good for us. That’s coming up on This Land of Ours.

For anyone looking for ways to lead healthier lives…it can happen by starting a garden.

Producing your own food naturally will lead to clean eating. We are able to grow local, organic vegetables right in our own yard for the same price of some seeds.

You’ll get physical exercise from the amount of squatting, bending, picking and pruning.

Mood elevation happens when seeing the fruits of your labor… especially when starting those plants,whether they are fruits, veggies or flowers, from seedlings.

Another thing that will make us feel good is the Vitamin D we soak up from the sun while being outdoors.

Not only the sunshine but the fresh air from the many things in bloom.

Gardens also give many a sense of relaxation and mental stimulation. They encourage and ground us, smooth us and keep us healthy. It can also be a great way to get the whole family involved.
