5. You get a calming dose of nature.
Gardening is a calming activity that lowers your stress levels and helps you relax. Being around nature is supposed to be good for your physical and mental health, with several studies showing that it does wonders for your overall wellbeing.
6. Plants repel mosquitoes.
If you choose your herbs carefully, they can double up as mosquito-repellents, preventing those nasty bites and reducing your risk of getting dengue or malaria. A good mosquito-repellent plant is marigold – just put one marigold plant after every 2 – 3 herb plants and you’re good to go. The colourful flowers will brighten up your home too!
7. There’s an unbelievable sense of accomplishment involved.
You may scoff at the idea of getting attached to plants, but once you start caring for your own, you’ll know exactly what we mean. Each little shoot, branch or flower that grows gives you a sense of personal satisfaction..
