In this second episode, we are taking a brief look at the positive benefits that gardening can have in our mental health, and why it can be an excellent activity to help us go through depression. Gardening activities also have positive effects in people who are not or who has never experienced depression, since it can reduce stress and anxiety.

Gardening can be relaxing, but it can also give us a real sense of achievement, as well as boost in our confidence and in our self-steem. A garden is a place where our efforts can be rewarded.

The first episode, in case you missed it, was about the difference between major depression and sadness. Take care of your mental health.
