We can all agree that the effect of plants in our home helps brighten up people’s moods as their presence brings life to an area. They improve the quality of air that we are breathing in and they cool down our environment as they release their water. These are just a few of the things that we can benefit from cultivating a garden in our homes. More than the presence of plants, the process of building or maintaining your gardens also has a lot of benefits to an individual.

So what are the effects of gardening? Gardening has a positive effect on your mental and physical health. Scientific studies show that gardening can make you happy as you inhale the healthy bacteria that live in the soil. These bacteria, known as the Mycobacterium vaccae, stimulate the release of serotonin, your happy hormone, thus improving your mood. A study suggests that simply inhaling these bacteria when you stay in a garden puts you in a pleasant state of mind. The process also helps relieve stress as it puts your mind off stressful things as you focus on the tasks of gardening.

Physically, gardening improves the strength of your hand since you use this most when you plant seeds or stems, pull weeds, and dig through the soil with your shovel. With the physical labor, you even burn calories making gardening a good exercise alternative for people who are not into doing cardio like running and jogging, or into doing sports. In addition, your exposure to the sun gives you vitamin D that helps regulate the calcium in your body resulting in strong bones and a strong immune system.

Gardening is a great hobby for people of all ages, even for those who feel like they have a black thumb, instead of green because they can’t seem to keep plants alive. In this article, All Home Philippines will guide you on how to build your garden.

People may sometimes think that gardening is not for them because they don’t have a backyard for that, but they’re mistaken! Gardening does not require you to have plots of land because you can make a garden using pots. Simply place your pots on the floor of an available space, or on top of a table in your home (you can even place them on your computer desk). You can also get pots with a stand already if that fits your preference more.

With the location settled, the next problem people can think of is that the plants they planted are not thriving. Don’t worry! The problem is not with your hands. It must be with your soil. Make sure to research what type of soil is good for your desired plant. Soils that are called soilless are great for starting seeds, and AllHome offers you a wide range of seeds such as sunflower seeds, tomato seeds, and cucumber seeds.

Next, make sure that your garden is near water so that you can easily hydrate them. Use a garden hose or watering can to manually water your plants, or you can use a sprinkler that will water your plant by itself. Sprinklers are best for plants in a plot of land rather than in a pot.

Now that your plants are planted. We wait for them to grow. Keep them healthy by providing the nutrients they need using fertilizers. When you use fertilizers on plants that bear fruits or vegetables, you turn them into more nutritious crops that will also be good for your health when you harvest and eat them.

Gardening is fairly easy, and you don’t need a lot of materials for it because most of the tasks for it can be done using bare hands. However, it will be more fun and less stressful if you invest in a gardening set. After all, you’re venturing into this beneficial hobby because it’s good for your health. And if you want to level up your garden, make it cozy by adding an outdoor sofa set, or outdoor chairs and tables where you can play board games, have movie nights, or eat snacks with your family and friends. Good environment with good company? One of the best things on earth!

With your newfound hobby, you will not only be helping yourself using the benefits of having plants. With your decision to pursue gardening, you’re also helping the world in stopping climate change because the plants you grew will help in the removal of carbon dioxide from the air, and releasing oxygen into the atmosphere.
