Its outside...

When times are depressing... and lets face it the world aint a cake walk right now the human body needs Vitamin D to help combat depression and anxiety. Gardening provides this in a relaxing form. If its cold, wrap up warm...and if its sunny all the better!

It gives you a purpose...

We have all looked at our gardens in the depths of winter and wondered just how we were going to transform it into a beautiful enjoable space. Well now you have more time on your hands make it your project. The Japanese call it 'ikigai' which means 'reason for living'. If you have to stay at home why not tackle projects bit by bit and then revel in your efforts because more than anything gardening can give you a great sense of achievement!

Spring is coming...

What makes the fear and anxiety of the Coronavirus even worse is the fact we are still in the winter, its cold and gloomy and seems depressing...but spring is round the corner! There is no better therapy than watching things grow in your garden particularly things you have planted and grown yourself. It wont be long before Spring is in full bloom and even if you are bound to your home you can explore the delights of your garden.
