Dig into the Health Benefits of Gardening
October 1, 2024 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
In addition to providing nutritious fruits and vegetables, beautiful landscapes, and fresh flowers, gardening offers a variety of health benefits. As a part of special programming in recognition of the International Council on Active Aging’s Active Aging Week, retired nurses and PMG members Kathy Floyd and Beth White will explain how we can reap all of the physical and mental health rewards that gardening can bring us. They will examine the benefits of gardening from a historical perspective while exploring the positive impacts of being outside and caring for a garden–on both our physical well-being and our state of mind. Further, they will outline strategies for protecting ourselves and avoiding injuries while working in the garden. This presentation will also highlight opportunities for gardening in our community.
