Have you ever thought that gardening could change the way you feel?
Ask any gardener why they enjoy gardening and many will say that it "makes them feel good".
To highlight how gardening could help improve your emotional wellbeing, we have produced a new leaflet called Harnessing the mood boosting power of gardening . This explains how gardening can help you feel happier, healthier and more confident and gives ideas to get you started. It is aimed at people who may be going through a difficult period in their lives or are experiencing stress, anxiety, or depression.
The leaflet was produced with help from Mind and has a wealth of information including our top five tips:
- Gardening is great physical exercise and gets you out in the fresh air
- You can work at your own pace and get a sense of achievement from the results
- Regular gardening can bring a new structure to your life
- Joining a gardening club helps you meet new people
- Gardening is fun and allows you to express your creativity.
