What is National Gardening Week?

National Gardening Week is a celebration of all things gardening in the UK. This annual event, organized by the Royal Horticultural Society, takes place in the first week of May and aims to inspire people to get out into their gardens and green spaces. The week is filled with events, workshops, and activities that promote the physical, mental, and social benefits of gardening. 

From planting and pruning to composting and seed-saving, there’s something for gardeners of all ages and skill levels. National Gardening Week provides an opportunity for people to connect with nature, learn new skills, and share their love of gardening with others.

 

Why is Gardening so Important?

• Gardening has been shown to have a positive impact on mental health. A study published in the Journal of Health Psychology found that gardening can help reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety, improve mood, and promote relaxation.
• According to the Journal of Environmental Psychology, engaging in gardening activities can provide a sense of connection to nature and promote a sense of mindfulness, which can help reduce stress and improve overall wellbeing.
• Gardening can help improve cognitive function, particularly in older adults. The Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease found that gardening can help improve memory and attention span, as well as overall cognitive performance.

 

What we are doing to help

100% of the profits made by Buy Rope on the 7th May will be donated to charity promoting gardening activities.
