Witch are the benefits of a personal garden?

Gardening, in itself, can produce the most  healthiest, least processed foods to put in your body wich creates healthy habits that leads us to a healthy lifestyle. 

Getting your hands dirty and being in touch with beautiful, living plants can promote positivity for the mind, body, and soul. However, that’s just scratching the surface of the many benefits of creating and maintaining a garden. Think about it, you’re bringing things to life by nourishing, watering and putting in the effort to get your plants flourishing. But how can gardening improve our health, too?

Most people enjoy being outdoors and digging into the soil, creating and watching plants grow. People with disabilities, people who are unwell, older people and children can find it especially rewarding to spend time in the garden tending plants and growing their own food.


  • Enjoyment – from the physical activity

  • Exercise – improves your endurance, strength, mobility and flexibility, and mental health

  • Relaxation – helps you relax and reduce stress levels

  • Fresh food – provides you and your family with a healthy variety of inexpensive fresh food.

This is the most obvious way how gardening can improve your health.

Whatever your age or level of ability is, you can enjoy gardening, have fun and develop new skills, including:

  • Responsibility – from caring for and tending plants
  • Understanding – learning about cause and effect (for example, plants die without water)
  • Self-confidence – from achieving goals and enjoying the food you have grown
  • Love of nature – from learning about the outdoor environment in a safe and pleasant place
  • Reasoning and discovery – learning about the science of plants, animals, weather, the environment, nutrition and simple construction
  • Physical activity – which is fun and good for your fitness
  • Cooperation – including shared activity and teamwork
  • Creativity – from finding new and exciting ways to grow food
  • Nutrition – learning about sources of fresh food and how to cook the food you grow in the garden.

Gardening is good for your mental health. Simply being in a garden can lift your spirits, particularly if you spend a lot of time indoors.


Being with others in a community garden can give you a sense of purpose and drive to achieve an end goal. It also provides a sense of belonging and acceptance for those who may otherwise feel isolated.


This kind of activity can help with depression in several ways, including:

  • Being outdoors in a pleasant environment
  • Working outdoors is reducing isolation
  • Caring for plants and investing in their future
  • Experiencing the joy and satisfaction of harvesting from the cropps that you've been taking care
This is an ideea of how a garden can be organized. It is up to you what types of vegetables or herbs you'll like to grow.

This is an ideea in order to help you to imagine how a personal garden can look and what you can grow.

Stay well naturally!💚

Tools used in the project

In order to achieve a remarkable result throughout some activities that involve people with a common aim , there have to be implemented some tools that would help in learning and understanding a topic, so that is why some magic tools are important for a project that provides sustainability, too. Furthermore, these are the ones used in our LLLS journey: Firstly, some icebreakers aka activities to get to know each other For example, making a circle with the whole group so each person, one by one, says his/her name and associates it with an animal and a gesture. Another game is the Clock game: the one that help people meet and discuss on a topic for about 3-4 minutes for every hour of a clock (12 meeting per general) Secondly, to start the team-building there is another activity by staying in a circle with eyes closed and trying to take 2 random hands and then untying the formed knot of hands connecting to the nature and learning more about what it means, what everybody is doin...

Volunteering is a certain activity or work done for free by a person or a group. People can volunteer in various fields. We were brainstorming and came up with many areas of volunteering.  It can be done in NGOs /non governmental organization/, environmental organizations, health care centers, rescue centres, community centres, orphanages, festivals, events, etc. Most common activities can be cleaning the nature, building or renovating public places, harvesting crops, teaching, taking care of the disabled, old or sick, running a bio farm, etc. We also can be volunteering inside in offices to help small businesses or non-profit organizations, organizing summer camps for kids, helping in red cross, public libraries, organizing clothes or book swaps, helping in animal shelters or helping with some events for example concerts or charity gatherings.
