With the effects of lockdown making themselves known, have you noticed the surge in home gardening across the globe? With travel constraints and additional time on our hands, it seems like both urban dwellers and country folk are exploring the manifold benefits of growing their own fruit, vegetables, and herbs.
I found it interesting that the pandemic has sparked a resurgence of this long-standing tradition. Historically, kitchen gardens were an integral part of life. In times of distress, community gardens have been cultivated and harvested as a way to boost morale and ensure food security.
Have you taken up gardening in this period? Would you say the hobby has helped you navigate through these trying times? Maybe you know someone who’s completed an impressive project? Please feel free to share your thoughts and experiences. Let’s not limit the discussion to practical benefits either - I’m just as interested in the psychological and emotional benefits of nurturing a living thing. Feel free to chime in with your perspectives.
