Come Tell Us Why You Love Gardening Or Taking Care Of Plants

Whether you have a full vegetable garden or a few plant babies on your windowsill.

Gardening and taking care of plants can be hard work, but it comes with a lot of benefits.

Maybe it's the perfect self-care for lessening your anxiety and lifting your mood.

Or maybe it's a constant source of pride to be able to cook with vegetables and herbs you grew all by yourself!

Maybe having to water on a schedule has actually taught you the discipline you need to stick to other habits as well.

Or having a thriving indoor garden helps you feel closer to nature when you're in a big city.

Honestly, maybe it's just fun.
