This May, Stodels are focusing on wellness and health. Whether you are new to gardening, only want to nurture a small plant or live for time in your garden, we have something for everyone that will help you to lift your mood this May.
Wellness from the earth
Studies show that even just 30 minutes of gardening can significantly lower stress levels, reduce anxiety and boost mood. As more people seek natural ways to support mental health, gardening emerges as an accessible and therapeutic option. The sensory experiences of soil, sunlight and nurturing help promote mindfulness, calm and a sense of accomplishment. In short, gardening is nature’s therapy.
Get fit naturally with gardening activities
Forget the gym, gardening is one of the most underrated full-body workouts. Activities like digging, pruning, weeding and watering help improve flexibility, build strength and support heart health. Plus, being outdoors means you get that all-important Vitamin D, crucial for bone health and immunity. It’s an easy, joyful way to stay active. Gardening encourages people to be more aware of their environmental footprint while cultivating beautiful and productive green spaces.
Sustainable gardening at home
As eco-conscious living becomes essential, gardening is a simple way to make a difference. Stodels promotes sustainable gardening practices such as planting indigenous species, using water-wise techniques and starting compost piles to reduce household waste.
Beyond its personal benefits, gardening fosters connection. It’s a family-friendly, community-building activity that brings people together. Swapping cuttings, sharing harvests, or starting a local veggie patch are all ways to build community through gardening. Whether you want to plant your first herb garden or redesign your backyard for mindfulness, Stodels will guide you every step of the way.
