Gardening is a wonderful activity to help reduce stress and anxiety by providing a soothing rhythm through routines like watering and weeding. It also helps to lighten your mood and improve happiness and life satisfaction. Getting your hands in the soil can trigger the release of serotonin, a natural antidepressant, in the brain.
