STAYCATION
STAYCATIONS FOR YOUR HEALTH WELL BEING
Probably one of the advantages of plants that we often forget. Plants can help provide physical health and help improve mental well-being. * When you work in a garden the feel-good factor increases dramatically. Did you know that one hour of raking, digging, and moving stone can burn almost as many calories as an hour of light jogging? Not only that, but the physical activity can give you a good night’s sleep!
It is true: plants- shrubs, trees, perennials, and annuals are a pleasure to behold. You become relaxed and become calm almost instantly in their presence. Stress melts away as your eye and attention turn to a plant’s color, form, fragrance, and feel. Gardening produces a chemical reaction in your brain that improves mood- gardening makes us happy! Gardening can give us great therapeutic health. Then there are other benefits- the sunshine, the fresh air, cut flowers, the bounty, and the satisfaction of creating and maintaining your garden.

Staycations --Creating a Sanctuary
When we find it necessary to stay and vacation at home, we can also create landscaping features which actually make our home a place to enjoy in new ways, more than just a landscape planting. Adding walks, benches, and patios can provide a beautiful, peaceful sanctuary and furnish an outdoor living area that can be used as a breakfast retreat, a reading area, or just an area to experience the solitude of nature. Properly landscaped areas can not only function as living space, but also can provide added solitude and enjoyment. Choosing the right combination of plants - considering types of flowers, color, time of flowering, texture of leaves, and the use of companion plants - is an important part of your décor. Plants continue to appeal to the eye throughout the year and not just at vacation time. A proper mixture of plants can accent your total landscaping through each season. Some plants can bring nature to you, with fruits, flowers, stems and roots that help draw wild birds and animals. Trees can provide shade to cool your home; windbreaks with evergreens can protect the intrusion of wind and create a courtyard to keep your area secluded. They also serve to insulate your house from the winter cold and actually bring down the cost of heating.
