National Gardening Exercise Day

National Gardening Exercise Day is an annual observance held on June 6th in the United States. This day is dedicated to promoting the physical and mental health benefits of gardening as a form of exercise. Gardening is a great way to get outside and move your body while also enjoying the beauty of nature. Activities such as digging, planting, weeding, and watering can all provide a low-impact workout that can improve strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular health. In addition to the physical benefits, gardening can also have a positive impact on mental health. Spending time in nature and engaging in activities that promote mindfulness and relaxation can help reduce stress and promote feelings of calm and well-being. On National Gardening Exercise Day, people are encouraged to get outside and get active in their gardens. This day is a great opportunity to try new gardening activities, learn about different plants and gardening techniques, and connect with other gardeners in your community.
