— THE BEST 7 REASONS —
to get dirty
GARDENING IS TRENDY. WHETHER IN YOUR OWN GARDEN, ON YOUR BALCONY, IN A RENTED STRIP OF LAND ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF THE CITY OR IN ONE OF THE RAISED BEDS ON THE ROOF OF A HIGH-RISE BUILDING.
GOOD REASONS TO REGULARLY SWAP YOUR KEYBOARD AND PHONE FOR A SPADE AND GARDEN SHEARS AND TO DIG IN THE SOIL INSTEAD OF THE NET:
WORKING IN NATURE HELPS YOU STAY HEALTHY LONGER. Recent medical studies from Canada show that gardening helps to reduce the likelihood of many chronic diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, osteoporosis and arthritis. From Blue to Green is the title of a major medical study in Australia on the positive effects of gardening to alleviate depression.
CREATIVITY. Many fashion designers are proud of their gardens and see them as an extension of their creativity.
Joseph Beuys said “gardening doesn’t interest me”. But from his early creative period and from his last years, he created wonderful plant drawings, watercolors and pressed plants, which he, like a botanist, labeled with their Latin technical term as well as the place and year where they were found.
STRESS REDUCTION. Constant multitasking and often little control over the end result of our work gnaw at our nerves. The garden is a refuge where we can make decisions according to our mood.
And nothing is more effective and at the same time healthier than cutting trees and bushes to get rid of aggression and relieve stress.
WIDE RANGE OF MOVEMENTS. The various tasks in the garden require postures that we very rarely adopt in everyday life. In this way, a wide variety of muscle groups are trained. Try it out. Even if yoga and forest running are on your daily program – after the first hour of weeding in the garden, your muscles are guaranteed to ache.
After the gardener and the hot shower or a nice bath, if you pamper the body with the aroma oil SIEVER_S intact, you can use the scent of orange, lime, thyme and cypress to prolong the beneficial elements of the gardener a little more and at the same time do something good for your body.
FROM LEAF TO ROOT. Is the concept of innovative chefs who use very many parts of fruits and vegetables that are often removed or discarded in the trade or in their own kitchens. Thus, radish leaf salad, coffee granité with walnut leaves and potatoes broccoli drunk roast.
This works best when you plant your own vegetables to use all parts of them. The checking look at the label and country of origin can be omitted and you are sure to process unsprayed fruits and vegetables.
CUSTOMIZE. For some gardeners, the aesthetic aspect is paramount: a garden all in white, a Zen garden with perfect sight lines, or a cheerfully colorful cottage garden. Every gardener can be happy after his own fashion. Consideration and planning, design and the joy of seeing your own ideas grow and change on a daily basis offer design possibilities without fashion dictates.
24 HOURS OF PLEASURE FOR ALL SENSES. Most gardeners can be found in the garden at dawn. With a cup of hot coffee or tea in hand, they roam their garden, still covered in morning dew, before going about their actual day’s work. And in the evening, a flower arrangement from your own garden enchants the table until well after midnight.
