Having a green thumb can positively affect your life in many ways, just by starting a small garden, or taking care of a few plants, you can begin to see one or more of these five benefits of gardening.

It Can Put A Smile On Your Face

A 2017 study showed that going green can be linked to improved quality of life and fewer mood swings, what’s not to smile about there. Although the reason is not yet clear, it might have to do with putting the future in perspective; having a goal to look forward to, and something to take care of.

Can Relieve Stress And Depression

Medical studies have linked gardening with a positive effect o these two metal health issues.  Having a garden or plant tends to give you a reason to get active with minimal risks, simple tasks that people can cover, control, and be rewarded with a wonderful result.

Farm To Table, And Then To Business

Growing your own products or supplements can have an immense impact on your health. You’ll know exactly what that plant went through to get to you, and you can make sure it’s as good as it can be. Also, this can be the starting point for small business for you and your family.

You can take advantage of your space with resilient crops from high CBD hemp seeds, that can be turned to anything from oils to edibles. Gardening is one of those hobbies that can actually be turned into something more.

Burning Calories

Yes, you read that right, gardening can help you burn calories! Even a small garden needs some physical work to stay healthy, that’s where the calorie burning is, the best part is you mostly don’t notice the workout. Outdoor workouts like this are functional, fun, and go by fast, a great reason to add some gardening to your fitness plans.

Take Advantage Of The Sun

Humans need the sun just as much as plants do.  So tending to your garden and soaking up some rays is going to help you too:

  • Triggers the production of Vitamin D, and serotonin
  • Helps strengthen your bones
  • Can benefit in treating some skins conditions like psoriasis, eczema, and others
  • Be a mood and energy booster

A good reason to spend time outside, you can even use it as a tool to learn about biology and science as a household.

Creates A Chance For Building Relationships

Gardening can become a community-building effort, as many turns to grow their own products to ensure quality and availability. Even if you keep your garden to a small private size, you can still meet people and form relationships from gardening.

Other people that share your interest are growing the same crops; those asking for advice, or giving it; participating in local markets; founding a community garden, etc. Your green thumb can be the starting point for friendship and collaborations in the future.
