is as simple as stepping
outside of your house.
Gardening has long been

Gardening has long been
recognized as having benefits
for both the mind and body.
Starter plants are another option
that helps you to immediately
begin to enjoy the beauty that
greenery and flowers bring to
your outdoor space.
The reasons why gardening is so
beneficial as a stress reliever are
important to recognize.
Knowing these benefits serves as
motivation to get out there and
spend a few minutes tending to
the plants.
Brighten Your
Days With a Boost
of Sunshine
Between work and taking
care of tasks around the
house, it is easy to spend far
too much time indoors.
Regular exposure to sunshine
is necessary for the body to
produce vitamin D and
mood-boosting hormones.
A garden gives you a reason to be
outdoors where the sun can
work its magic.
Just the warmth of the sun on
your skin melts away the effects
of stress.
Distract Yourself From
Negative Thoughts.
After a stressful event, people
sometimes find themselves
ruminating on what happened.
Whether you are replaying that
argument in your head or worrying
about an upcoming issue, working
in your garden gets your mind off
of the problem.
Nurture Your Spirit
From Within.
Fresh fruits and vegetables
contain vitamins and nutrients
that the body uses for physical
and mental energy.
Nutritional deficiencies
contribute to the negative
effects of stress.
Knowing that a fresh piece of
fruit is just waiting to be picked
outside means that you are
more likely to take in the right
nutrients for helping you feel
your best during stressful times.
Working in the garden also requires
you to bend, dig, and stoop.
All of these actions strengthen your
physical body so that you endure
less stress from pain and illness.
Cultivate a Sense
of Success.
Gardening is a fairly simple
hobby to enjoy, but there is
a definite learning curve.
Beginner gardeners often
encounter issues with their
plants that require some
problem-solving.
Even an advanced gardener
might wonder why their plants
suddenly have excessively long
stems or wilting leaves.
Doing things such as checking
the soil health to make sure
that plants get what they
need to survive helps to
resolve issues in the garden.
Seeing the plants come back
to life is a major victory that
overrides life’s daily stressors.
Create a
Beautiful Oasis.
Everyone should have a place at
home that feels like a wonderland.
A flowerbed in the front yard
sends an instant message that you
have arrived home to a
comfortable place after a long day
out in the world.
A front-yard full of beautiful
succulents or fruit trees also
increases the joy that you feel
during your drive up.
Meditation and serenity gardens
serve as a private retreat where
homeowners can enjoy the
natural scenery.
Plants that attract butterflies
are excellent choices for
creating a serene environment.
Water features can work along
with the plants to soothe stress
and induce a calmer state of mind.
Caring for a garden shouldn’t
be stressful.
The Arizona climate can
sometimes lead to challenges
for plants that are easily
remedied with proper care.
