Joy & Satisfaction from Growing Plants/Gardening!

I love plants and gardening. I've always enjoyed spending time with my hands in the dirt. It's very therapeutic and calming. Such joy and satisfaction all from growing plants and gardening. After a hard day, sitting in my garden helps me to relax and let go of the daily stress. Gardening is a great stress reliever. Not only that but gardening can help you eat healthier by growing your own fruits and vegetables.

Even though I've always enjoyed gardening especially as a child, once I grew up and moved away from home I didn't have time for gardening. But as time past by and my children begin to get bigger, I decided to get back into gardening. I started back with a small container garden and before you know it I had three small row dug up in the back yard!

Gardening has even helped me to lose weight! Getting out in the yard, doing yard work, and tilling the soil, all Burns calories! Doing gardening twice a week is my equivalent of going to the gym! With gardening the benefits are plentiful. Losing weight is only but one of many health benefits. And when you enjoy what you're doing, it's not work at all...

Now that the kids are grown and I've moved back to the country, I have lots of plans and gardening ideas for my new property! And all the work that goes into landscaping, mowing, tilling, & such, will all be done with love and admiration for plants.
