Those of us who spend time in our gardens know just how therapeutic organic gardening can be. Days spent in sunshine up to your elbows in soil is a tremendous stress reliever. Gardening also provides significant exercise, requiring significant bending, stretching, and lifting. We also know that gardening saves us money ($2.00 packet of seeds = many dollars of carrots, brussels sprouts, tomatoes, peppers, lettuces, sweet corn, beans, what-have-you).
But organic gardening also teaches one how to practice soil conservation, chemical-free pest control, and a love of the natural world.
