Even though it’s January, gardens and gardening is still good for us. At this time of year though, we have to choose our opportunities to get outside, and when we can’t we can plan to make our garden the best it can be, and plan for a bumper crop of plants, whether that’s flowers, fruit, vegetables or herbs - or some of each.
Gardens and gardening bring benefits to our physical and mental health, providing exercise and keeping up active and fit to getting us outside and connecting with plants, soil and the natural world around us.
And if the weather keeps us indoors, then many an hour can be spent with our noses inside a seed catalogue, I know that I’ve spent some quality hours planning how my garden will look, what we’ll grow and I’m usually itching to put those plans into practice as soon as I can.
Please feel free to link any gardening post this month, whether you’ve been out visiting gardens or sharing plans or updates from your own garden - all are very welcome.
