Dear Friend, During these difficult times, we're seeing many people turn to gardening. They've got the right idea! Gardening is great for your physical and mental health. It's a creative, screen-free activity that's good for all ages, including cooped-up, homeschooled children. For many, it's also a form of empowerment, knowing that they can supplement their groceries and maybe even support their neighbors when income and food supplies are tight. When following a few principles for soil health, gardening can also be part of the climate solution. This is important because we're seeing links between the climate crisis and pandemics and, if the current coronavirus is any indication of our future ability to address global crises, we've got some work to do. |
