Beginning of winter

The chilly season of Winter is about to begin , since we experience  milder winter season in comparison to another regions of the world. The winter season in my Garden  is awaited for preparing up for a floral show for spring.

Garden Therapy

Gardening is just not a hobby it is a passion that can help  you come out  from depression and stress.

It is my personal experience that merely looking to the garden can elevate the mood of distressed and working with the plants can lighten up and even demolish your negative thoughts completely.

 Ask the people who like growing plants and feel bundle of joy when their first seed grown tomato gets ripened for harvest. This year has forced the world to stay at their home and the situation can not be ruled out anytime soon. It is best time to get involve into the gardening to bring optimistic approach in this stressful period of our life.

     This is the Tomato harvest from my last spring and I can tell you that my excitement for it's harvest was exactly the same which was a decade earlier.

                                                               

        Benefits of gardening for the people who have to isolate themselves from the society owing to the pandemic

                                                         

  

It is a fact that elderly people have to stay at home as they are more prone to the pandemic thereby they can start gardening in small or large spaces which will help them relief from stress and anxiety issues. It helps in improving physical as well mental health of a person.

It does not let you feel alone and gives you rewards for your hard work.However it is just not plants presence of birds,bees in the garden makes us feel happier also .
