It’s Good To Garden

Cambridge Boffins Say Gardening Is Good For You ...

I’ve known it all along ... but now Cambridge research is backing me up! It is good to garden and here are the reasons why:

Exercise ... in my case much needed but at least being in the garden (I don't mean sat at the patio table with a martini) doing some gardening lets you get some gentle exercise

Fresh air ... obviously depends on your location (and if it’s barbeque season!) but at least you’re outside and not sat in front of the TV

Better diet ... if you grow your own fruit or veg (always tastes better than the supermarket spoils)

But best of all ‘exposure to plants helps reduce stress levels, increases concentration and productivity and improves mood.’ Based on this statement shouldn’t I be sat in my garden working rather than my desk??? I’ll let my MD decide!
