Garden Corner

We continue with some more gardening tips which you can employ to enhance your home and health.

1. The Social Front Yard

As fellow human beings we need connections. It would be a good thing is you can arrange your porch where you can sit outside and interact with your friends and neighbors.

2. Make Your Garden Lush and Colorful

Think about colorful outdoor spaces. Plant tall trees, especially big-leafed tropical trees. You can use colorful containers. Also you can hang ferns everywhere, and chose plants with big,  bold flowers.

​3. Restore The Natural World

Plant trees that benefit pollination or the birds.
One report  last year stated that more than 67 million US households bought at least  one plant because it benefitted pollination or birds.
A pollinator is anything that helps transport pollen from one flower to another. This can include many types of insects: butterflies, moth, beetles, bees, flies, and wasps. Small animals such as birds, bats , and rodents can also contribute.

​4. Plant Some Veggies

Yep, especially if you're cramped for space in your yard. A good trick would be to use edible containers. In that way you save money, eat healthier, consume local foods, and shrink your carbon footprint.

​5. Gardening For Wellness

These are gardens that provide respite and bolster our internal healing mechanisms. Healing does not only take place in the walls of hospitals and clinics, but a garden outside of our home can add to the healing process. Plants like roses, restore hydrangeas. Many medical facilities are growing and tending these plants because of their therapeutic value.
