Planting a Vegetable Garden can be so rewarding, it provides food, exercise, a feeling of accomplishment and responsibilities. Check our our guide now!

Gardening is an incredible hobby to embrace. By putting your green thumb to practice, you are benefitting yourself and your environment. Spending your free time planting a vegetable garden and growing vegetables in your very own backyard offers many benefits that will improve your quality of life while practicing sustainability. 

Some of the main benefits of planting your vegetable garden include: 

Improved Physical Health

Gardening offers an opportunity for you to enjoy more time outside. While practicing this hobby, you can soak in the fresh air and sun. You’ll grow more of an appreciation for nature while absorbing some vitamin D and clean air, which will support your physical well-being. 

On top of the fresh air and sun, the physical activity of gardening helps support your muscle development and fitness. It’s a low-impact method of staying active, which will help with your organ health as the act of standing, bending, using your arm muscles, and more will keep your circulation flowing and heart pumping oxygen throughout the body. You’ll burn calories, lowering your blood pressure, and build more bone strength while doing something you enjoy. 

Access to Nutrition

Having vegetables growing on your property also offers convenience. You no longer need to venture to the store to grab items for your salad. Need a crunchy snack? Simply walk to the backyard and pull a carrot from your garden. You’ll have easy access to nutrients that will contribute to a healthy diet. You’ll 

build immunity from diseases and feel more energized thanks to your own veggie supply.

Improved Mental Health

Having a hobby is beneficial to your mental well-being. Your gardening will offer you an outlet to release stress and clear your mind as you focus on growing your vegetables. 

Nourishing Your Soil

By gardening, you can nurture the soil around your home. Your healthy soil will support growth by offering oxygen, water, temperature leveling, and nutrients to your vegetables. You’ll establish a healthy ecosystem in your backyard by growing vegetables and feeding your soil.

So how can you get started on setting up your vegetable garden? 

  • Start small with limited space and one or two vegetables
  • Grow veggies you would enjoy
  • Plant vegetables that will thrive in the season you are entering
  • Find a garden spot with sun exposure
  • Water your garden regularly 
  • Layout your vegetables in rows so they can adequately develop

Happy gardening!
