Welcome to My Garden

One day as I was scrolling through social media, a picture of a beautiful garden caught my attention. Of course I opened up my friend’s online album and looked through her gardening creations. This got my wheels turning and I decided to make some floral creations for my own porch.

I know we are all busy, and at first thought I would never have time to spend on gardening.  Then I turned my thoughts around to how I was going to MAKE time. Not only does gardening make our outdoor living space beautiful, but there are major health style benefits as well.

According to www.rodalesorganiclife.com, some of the health benefits include the following:

1.  It reduces stress and anxiety.

2.  It decreases your risk of heart disease and diabetes.

3.  It makes you happy.

4.  It keeps your mind sharp.

5.  It helps you sleep better.

I enjoy watching my flowers and plants grow as a result of the care and feeding I have given them.  I also enjoy my kids asking me to come sit out on our porch with them because of the peaceful atmosphere.  For me, that is the best benefit of all.
