Benefits of Gardening
Research shows that gardening can:
• exercise all major muscle groups
• reduce weight gain
• improve sleep
• improve brain function
• reduce stress/anxiety
• reduce depression & improve mood
• increase self-esteem.
By being part of a community garden, you can also experience the friendship and support of like-minded companions. And you can take home some of the beautiful organic produce we harvest.
