Ready to grow a garden for your health?

It's mid-summer. We're over half way through 2020 - and what a year it's been (maybe the understatement of any year in recent history?).

I ran across an idea that I wanted to share.

Grow a garden.

You might be a seasoned green thumb, or maybe you're sure that all plants would die a horrible death under your care. In either case, it might surprise you to learn that interacting with growing things and good, rich dirt can have health benefits.

• Gardening can build self-esteem.
• Gardening is good for your heart.
• Gardening reduces stress.
• Gardening can make you happy.
• Gardening can improve your hand strength.
• Gardening is good for the whole family.
• Gardening can give you a boost of vitamin D.
• Growing your own food can help you eat healthier.

In this article, internal medicine Dr. Robert Hutchins, explains how even a tiny garden can yield mental and physical health benefits!

If you need some ideas for setting up a tiny kitchen garden in pots - one that will take up very little space - here's an article that talks about five herbs that you can grow in small pots right on your patio or maybe even on a windowsill.

I hope these ideas reach you at a good time to try something out and tell me about it, but really I wanted to check in and say hello.
