Garden Therapy: Why Getting Your Hands Dirty Is the Best 'Medicine'
- Gardening adds meaningful weekly physical activity without requiring a formal workout, helping you build strength, balance, and endurance through real-world movement
- Spending time in the garden lowers stress hormones and shifts your body into a calmer, recovery-focused state, improving mood and mental clarity
- Regular gardening is linked to better memory, sharper thinking, and greater independence as you age by engaging multiple brain functions at once
- Working with soil and plants supports your brain at a biological level, increasing blood flow and boosting compounds that strengthen memory and learning
- Growing your own food naturally improves your diet by increasing how often you eat fresh, nutrient-rich fruits and vegetables
