Believe it or not, there is a strong correlation between the human body and nature. While much of our lives is spent indoors (hello, 8-hour office work days), human beings benefit a lot from spending time outdoors. Because human beings are creatures, we respond positively to fresh air, sunlight, and plants.
Outdoor activities like gardening are excellent healing practices. Not only does gardening get you outdoors, but it also gives you a strong sense of responsibility. Tending to any type of garden requires hard work, determination, and care – putting this type of work into growing another living thing is valuable, rewarding work that nourishes your spirit.
