There are many ways that a home garden can be of benefit to you. From improving your health, to helping burn calories and beautifying the surroundings, there are many reasons to start home gardening. Here are fabulous reasons to start a home or family gardening.
Access to fresh and healthy Food
Eating freshly grown foods is one of the best ways to eat healthily. It is way better than processed foods that have formed the bulk of our restaurants. When you concentrate on fruits and vegetables, you do yourself a lot of good, since fruits and veggies are part of the healthiest food. A personal garden will improve your diet and encourage you to eat healthily. Fresh food stays healthy and nutritious since it avoids subjection to processing and preservation.
You Build responsibility in Kids
When you have a family garden, you can delegate tasks based on age and capacity. Hence, even the smallest member of the family can have something to do. A garden is a terrific way to instill responsibility in kids. It will not be surprising for many kids to think that food items come only from the grocery stores. With a garden, however, they get to understand that if they can commit to tilling the ground, planting a seed and watering it, it can grow and provide food.
You Build Hand Strength and Dexterity
As we grow, there is a possibility that the hand strength wears out gradually. With this in mind, it is essential to try activities that engage the hand. Sewing and gardening are one of the few exercises that work and strengthen the hand muscle. For this reason, researchers recommend gardening for stroke patients. When you alternate the use of the hands, and you engage your non-dominant hand as well, you build strength and stimulate your brain.
Gardening Purifies the air
With the myriads of motor vehicles roaming our street and the increase in technology and industry, easily contaminates the air we breathe. What better way to reduce and get rid of air toxins than to plant a garden? Since plants use carbon dioxide and give out oxygen, it can foster optimum health among your family members.
Gardening is a Mild Form of Exercise
There are lots of activities involved in cultivation, Movement, bending, digging, weeding, winging of the hand and planting, etc. hence, gardening provides a terrific way to exercise. While gardening will not do much for your cardiovascular fitness, you get the benefits of low impact workout. We recommend this for people who find regular exercise a challenge.

“Real estate” means so much more to me than simply buying or selling property...I believe it’s all about the people behind those transactions. A house would never be a home without them. That is why my first question to you will always be “what are your goals and how can I help you get there?”
Helping someone to plan and achieve their goals is just as important as listening to what they are. I know first-hand from over a decade of experience just how much it can take to make it happen. With honesty, diligence, and resilience, however, no hurdle is unconquerable. I can guide you through the entire process, always making you feel comfortable, informed, and in control. Like I said before, you are always the first priority.
I chose to partner with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Real Time Realty because, just like me, they realize that real estate agents are much more than salespeople. Every person and every goal is just as important as the last - and Berkshire Hathaway has all the tools and resources to get the job done.
It’s been an absolute privilege to meet some of you and help you achieve your goals. I can’t wait to meet the rest. Whether you’re looking to buy, sell, or both, I am confident that I am the last agent you’ll need. A better future awaits...give me a call and let’s get started!
