Get your hands dirty – it’s good for you

Studies at SLU in Alnarp (Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences) indicate that physical contact with plants can have positive, even healing effects. Luckily, there’s ginger. Like a cake you can both have and eat, you can break off pieces to savour (when it’s still in the soil!) and leave the rest to keep sprouting goodness.

Gardening is (apparently) child’s play

Seeding tomatoes is another super easy way to sprout new life. Also, it makes for an activity so playfully colourful it screams for attention. Place slices in a pot of soil and tend it. Spring is an ideal time to sow, so round up the family for a planting session.

Spread the plant-growing joy

Pass on the power of planting to others – make your own givaway plant pods! All it takes is seeds, napkins and a few minutes of work. Follow the link below to see how, with easy-to-follow instructions.

The gourmet gardener’s best friend

Few things are easier to do – and taste better – than home-grown cress. Sprinkle seeds on a napkin, water lightly and wait. Within days, you can scissor-harvest by the mouthful. A serving of peace of mind may be included.
