Snip off some stress
One of the best things about gardening is the immediate release of stress.
That's an area we could all use some pruning!
Getting out in nature, soaking up Vitamin D, and putting our hands in the dirt lowers our stress levels. It's not just a placebo effect, either!
People use gardening as a type of therapy, and it decreases our cortisol!

Fertilize our muscles
The secret is out: gardening is a one-stop shop for building strength.
Squatting, rowing, digging, and snipping – your summer body is here courtesy of your garden.
Work out your legs, glutes, arms, and hands by spending time amongst your crops. And no need for an extra trip on the treadmill - it works cardio, too! Bonus: balance and coordination both improve with gardening.
A workout without feeling like we are working out? And dinner on the table without hitting up the grocery aisle? Sign us up!

Keep more than your tools sharp
Gardening is an excellent way to hone our mental prowess.
While it is always immediate gratification to see (and eat) our labor of love, there is another perk to gardening.
Because we research how to care for new plants, our mental sharpness gets its own strength-training workout! This is so much the case that there is even chatter that gardening can help fight off dementia. As if we needed another reason to love our garden!

Assess Your Space and Tools
Now that we know why gardening is bee's knees - how do we make it work for where we are today?
Start first by assessing your home and tool situation. Remember - just because you can have a large garden, do you want a large garden?
Consider how much garden space you can manage. Then, set yourself up for success! Knee pads and lightweight tools make a huge difference. Who wants to haul around 20 pounds of tools?

Explore community gardening spaces! If there is a will, there is a way.
Community gardens are a way to garden and meet new friends with an immediate shared interest in gardening.
Essentially, a community garden is an area where you can buy a small plot of land to plant your garden. Sometimes, members share their harvest to mix up what they take home.
“I’ll trade you some zinnias for a handful of squash.”
And while some neighborhoods may not allow an individual garden, they will allow for a neighborhood garden.
Find Your Green Thumb
Gardening may not look the way that it did once upon a time. But who cares – keep doing what you love.
Evaluate your environment and make meaningful adjustments, so you can garden in any space.
And it doesn't matter if you grow one flower or a whole crop of tomatoes; working with nature leaves you feeling livelier than when you started. So, drag out your gardening gloves, grab a wide-brimmed hat and put on your Sheer Zinc Sunscreen.
The fresh air and future plants are waiting. Here is to finding time to garden - in whatever way that looks today.
Cheers to Positive Aging and Gardening in any space!
