When I look at the economic news: the housing crunch, the high cost of groceries, or the possibility that AI will render my professional skills obsolete I often come back to the same thought: I should start growing my own vegetables.Financial savings and fresh produce aside, research shows gardening and spending time in nature has been shown to reduce stress, depression, and anxiety.
