Spring is in full bloom, and Earth Day is upon us! With all this beautiful weather happening around us, it is safe to say spring gardening is finally here! Whether this season will be your first-time gardening or if this is a long-term hobby, gardening is a great activity to improve your wellness in more ways than one.
Physical Activity – Between raking, digging, weeding, and the act of planting, gardening can be such a great low-impact workout for you and your senior to do together.
Mother Nature – Becoming in touch with nature can be such a refreshing experience! Getting your hands dirty and breathing in the fresh air can be very calming.
Emotional Well-Being – Being outdoors is proven to help relieve stress and anxiety, improve your mood, and boost feelings of happiness and well-being.
Nutrition – If you are planting produce, you can eat the fresh, healthy produce straight from your garden. Having a garden full of produce is a great way to consume more nutritious foods in your diet because it is easily accessible.
Surrounding Environment – Gardening can reduce air pollution and decrease chemical exposure, improving air quality.
