Why gardening is good for us

Gardening strengthens body, mind and soul equally!

Gardening not only boosts your body's vital vitamin D, but also brings balance to your body and mind. Light physical work strengthens the cardiovascular system, and connecting with nature has a calming and soothing effect. As soon as the first rays of spring sunshine arrive, many people simply want to get out into the fresh air and recharge their batteries!

Those who have their own garden and can experience the beneficial power of nature right outside their patio doors can consider themselves especially fortunate. Digging, planting, and sowing in one's own garden, and then enjoying the growth and flourishing of plants nurtured with love and care, is currently one of the most popular leisure activities. Those who work in the green quickly feel the healthy effects on the entire body: pulse and heart rate drop, metabolism is activated, muscles and circulation are trained. Working outside on cooler days in light, warm clothing also strengthens the immune system. Gardening is simply good for you, slows things down, makes us more relaxed and creative!

Gardener strengthens our senses and the immune system

Like a vital vitamin, nature has a lot to offer us! In addition to physical fitness, it trains our sense of smell and touch. Plant care works wonders: It calms and harmonizes us, it brings us back to our center. We feel comfortable and secure. Our thoughts flow – this is how the best ideas arise. Gardening is like a mindful experience of nature that harmonizes us with our souls and strengthens our senses.

Light physical work in the fresh air also strengthens our cardiovascular system, loosens muscles, and keeps our joints flexible. The repetitive rhythm of bending, digging, pushing, and carrying is a true full-body workout that challenges us without overtaxing us. So, if you regularly exercise in your garden, you can save yourself a trip to the gym.

Furthermore, gardening can actually help strengthen the immune system. Gardening brings you into direct contact with nature and the microorganisms it contains. These microorganisms can have a positive effect on our immune system by strengthening our defenses and training the immune system. In addition, physical activity helps reduce stress and improve general well-being. The sunlight while gardening also promotes the production of vitamin D, which is important for a healthy immune system. Last but not least, gardening often leads to us harvesting more fresh fruit and vegetables from our own garden, which in turn supports a healthy diet and can therefore strengthen the immune system. Our recommendation is therefore quite clear: Get your gardening tools ready and enjoy the many health benefits of gardening!

Natural gardening – giving nature space

Natural gardening is a wonderful way to experience the beauty of nature in your own garden. The goal is to promote a natural balance in the garden and protect the environment. By avoiding chemical fertilizers and pesticides, you can create a healthy and sustainable environment for plants, animals, and people. Planting mixed crops, harvesting rainwater, and composting organic waste are just a few of the many ways to implement natural gardening. While natural gardening requires a little more attention and patience, the reward is often a thriving and vibrant garden that is in harmony with nature and can provide a protected habitat for many animal and plant species.
