We live in an unprecedented time where home gardening is at an all-time low compared to previous centuries. What once was considered a necessary part of life now has gone to the wayside and is viewed simply as a “hobby” 🫤.

At our old 5-acre homestead, I was the ONLY person with a vegetable garden in our neighborhood and that just blew my mind 🤯.

While I know that gardening certainly comes with its own frustrations and failures at times😅, the benefits vastly outweigh the costs and we can see that play out in the Blue Zones. Even if you harvest nothing, the physical activity, time spent outdoors, and exposure to the soil microbiome will benefit you greatly!

You don’t need to have a massive garden for this to apply, either. You can create edible landscaping, put containers on your deck, or have a few small raised beds next to the swing set. You can do this!💪🏼

If you’re worried that you’ll waste your money on putting in a garden, the average return on gardening investment in 2021 was 757%! 🙌🏼And that’s just a financial return. Not to mention all of the health benefits, too.

Since it’s October, planting a garden now probably isn’t the best idea, but now it’s the PERFECT time to start learning and preparing that garden space!

If you’re feeling overwhelmed with the whole idea and don’t know where to start, my “How to Plan a Garden” course is currently 25% off and I would love to help you 🫶🏼You’ll also get 1:1 help from me in my private, students-only discussion forum. Comment READY and I’ll send you more info!✨
