The link between reconnecting with nature and a positive impact on our wellbeing has been widely documented. The benefits of gardening include:
- Giving us a sense of responsibility;
- Allowing us to tap into our nurturing side;
- Keeping us connected to other living things;
- Helping us to relax;
- Allowing us to live in the moment;
- Reminding us of the cycle of life.
I love to plant sunflowers every spring. The colour yellow is often one that is associated with hope; hope is something that we could all do with a little of at this time.
Stay safe and consider some planting.
