Renewal and Resilience: How to Spring Back

We have found ourselves in a very strange and unnerving circumstance. This Pandemic has managed to slow everything almost everywhere to nearly a standstill, with no known date of reprieve. Luckily enough in most of the United States Spring has arrived, or is arriving. So, the weather is warming, and flowers and trees are beginning to bloom. This leaves me with much refreshment! To hear all the birds and other wildlife is like music. Seeing the sun come out, warming up the earth and bringing life to the landscape gives me hope. 

While we are maintaining our Social Distance we can still enjoy the fresh air and benefits of this spring renewal. Take time to go for walks outside, spend time in your yard if you have one, consider planting a small manageable garden. A garden can provide a great variety of food sources that will not require you to frequent the store every 3-4 days. Finding your favorite fruits or vegetables that can grow in your region and planting some of them can have many benefits.

Working outside in a garden brings many people hours of enjoyment, some even say it is meditative. Many people love getting their hands in the soil planting, weeding, etc. This is also a fantastic opportunity to introduce children to gardening, and teaching them where food really comes from! Kids will really dig watching seeds get planted and grow into these full grown plant foods that they can later cut, cook, eat, and enjoy!

Through gardening you are literally reaping what you sow.
