Locally Grown Plants

Benefits of Gardening

Plants absorb carbon dioxide, produce oxygen and improve the quality of air we breathe daily. They also increase property values and make a better first impression at the front door. Well-landscaped homes have been shown to add more than 12% to the homes value.

Gardening is an ideal exercise, promoting physical activity and stimulating the senses. If you’re looking for a reason to get out of the house and meet new people, gardening is a great option. You can join a community garden or start your own. You can also volunteer at a local public garden. There are many ways to get involved in gardening, and it’s a great way to meet new people.

Finally, gardening is a great way to give back to the environment. By growing your own food, you’re helping to reduce the amount of food that needs to be transported from farms to grocery stores. And, by planting trees and flowers, you’re helping to improve air quality and provide habitats for wildlife. So, there are many reasons why gardening is important. But, these are just a few. No matter if it’s one plant or one thousand, the benefits are clear – plants are good for the environment, good for you and great for future generations!
