In this increasingly digital world, there’s an app for just about everything. Peo-
ple are glued to their smart- phones, texting instead of talking, and, in general, inter- acting with technology more than they do with the living, breathing world around them. But there’s a cure for tech overload: Gardening. Whether you’re creating a vegetable garden in your backyard or planting flowers and herbs on your apartment balcony, it’s all about getting outside, feeling the sun on your face, and putting your hands into the soil.
If you find you’re desper- ately in need of a break from devices, try gardening to get back in touch with what’s real.
If you’ve never gardened before, it might sound intimi- dating, but just dive in. Plant a flower in the ground or grow
herbs on your windowsill and see what happens.
Sun, water and a little TLC is all it takes. You’ll find that gardening is an easy, enjoy- able hobby that anyone can learn to do. And it’s good for your health, too. Here are four surprising ways gardening is good for you.
LOCALLY GROWN FOOD IS HEALTHY
Eating local is on trend these days. What’s more lo- cal than your own backyard? Pick your veggies at the peak of ripeness and walk 20 feet to your table, rather than having them picked early and transported for 20 — or 200 — miles to the grocery store. That means they’re full of flavor and freshness. You’re getting more nutrients, too. The BOOST Collection are plants from Burpee that
include specially selected vegetables with higher anti- oxidants filled with vitamins A, C and E, beta-carotene, selenium and lycopene. An- other health benefit: Growing your own vegetables allows you to choose what fertil- izers and pesticides come in contact with your food. Instead of paying more at the grocery store for organic produce, grow it at home for a fraction of the cost. And the convenience factor can’t be beat. Craving a salad for dinner? Pop outside and pick some lettuce.
YOU’LL HAVE MORE COMPASSION AND LESS ANXIETY
Research has found that gardening creates compas- sion toward others, less wor- ry and anxiety, and lowers depression. Further, people
who spend more time around plants are more likely to help others and engage in social relationships. If you want to experience the satisfaction for yourself, start with some- thing simple. Wave Petunias and Cool Wave Pansies are the perfect easy-mainte- nance, high-performance plants that are great for be- ginners!
IT COUNTS AS A WORKOUT
You might not think of gar- dening as a physical activity, but it gets your heart rate pumping. Whether you’re pulling weeds, lifting your Wave Petunia planters, or working the soil, research shows you’ll be burning 200- 400 calories per hour.
So, the next time you’re feeling digital fatigue, let gardening be your refuge.
