Gardening for Health

Gardening is a great activity that can improve your functional strength and overall fitness and health.

This is so true about gardening being exercise!!! Plus it will get you some much needed fresh air. If you have dogs----a bonus, bond time with them also. outdoors for everyone does all bodies good.

Gardening is also a nice way for someone to de-stress as well. As Dawne said the fresh air and outdoors can make you feel a whole lot better!
