Stress Relief

One reason we garden is because it relaxes us. Even though it can be hard, back breaking work sometimes, just the fact that you are outdoors in the sun and not thinking of anything but the next weed you have to pull can be very relaxing. It's very meditative, being out there wit just you, the weeds and the dirt. But, that doesn't work for everyone. To others, gardening could be down right stressful.

We all know that stress is the silent killer and we should all do what we can to reduce stress in our lives. What works for one person may not work for the other though so you have to find what works specifically for you.
