Science has confirmed what we have known since ancient times - that gardens are places of healing. Plants have the power to calm, heal, and inspire. Horticultural therapists explore how interacting with green plants is good for the body and soul.
The usual planting time for a winter garden is April/May, but in frost free areas, most winter crops can be planted throughout, especially if you use seedlings to get a head-start.
Gardening is a creative art that provides a reduction in stress, anxiety, and depression. Spending time in your own garden improves health and well-being. Sleep gets better, serotonin and vitamin D levels increase, and the immune system strengthens, so get outside and put your hands in the mud.
