1. You become calmer and happier
2. Organic and locally sourced food
3. A garden full of life
Many places in the world only cultivate one crop in monoculture, which is often sprayed with chemicals. This has negative consequences for both animals and the environment. In your own garden, you have all the opportunities to create an organic and toxin-free diversity garden with a variety of plants - to help both insects and larger animals. Additionally, you have the chance to enjoy bird songs, beautiful squirrels, and bumblebees buzzing in your own garden.
When animals, big and small, increase in numbers, you also achieve a better balance in the garden. For example, predatory insects can keep aphids and other pests under control. It becomes like a lazy garden in harmony with nature.
4. Save money
5. Having fun with friends and family
6. Discover all the flavors of the world
It is not possible to buy all types of vegetables, herbs, and flowers in regular stores, but often it is possible to obtain special types in the form of seeds. By cultivating yourself, you can experience entirely new flavors, such as winter savory or bear's root.
By cultivating yourself, you can bring flavors from all over the world into your own kitchen. And all herbs and spices are of course as fresh as you can get them when you grow them yourself.
