What is National Gardening Week?
National Gardening Week is an event launched by the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) with the aim of promoting gardening activities among Britain’s population. In 2022, National Gardening Week is held between 2nd-8th May the charity is hoping to get as many people involved as possible. The event also focuses on raising awareness of the numerous positive effects of gardening, both on physical and mental health. The goal is to enrich the lives of people through gardening, while making the communities greener and more self-sufficient.
Why is gardening beneficial?
- According to The English Garden, gardening has a number of benefits on one’s physical health: it strengthens the muscles and the heart, increases endurance and stamina and reduces the risk of heart attack and stroke.
- Gardening also has positive effects on mental health: it improves the mood, reduces stress and symptoms of depression and anxiety, as noted by Thrive.
- Better Health Channel highlights the benefits of gardening for people living with disabilities, providing a source of exercise, friendship, stimulation and relaxation.
Buy Rope is dedicated to helping those in need. They decided to support a different organisation each month by organising a fundraising event. Find out more about this charitable initiative here or get in touch with the BuyRope team with any question: https://www.buyrope.co.uk/our-causes/
