It has been 6 weeks already, since we first started work on the land. Preparing the land and building the framework is not an easy task. Why, wheeling the wheelbarrow requires strength as well.
So what are the benefits from this work we are doing?
1. Our bodies are being disciplined. We have to forgo our sleep-ins on Saturday mornings and/or our afternoon nap on Sundays.
2. Our bodies are being strengthened. We start to work those muscles that have been laying dormant for so many years.
3. We save on gym membership. Digging the land expends a lot of calories! Lose weight 101.
4. We make new friends. Every week we have different people joining us and we enjoy the chit-chatting as we work.
6. Teamwork is being built. Various people working together for the same cause.
7. The joy of seeing something you plant grow is priceless. (Imagine when harvest time comes!)
8. We are building our character. Gardening involves commitment - imagine if those on watering duties neglect their duties... (Horrors!). We are also more resilient, not giving up even though the soil is hard and rocky.
These are just some of the benefits. So if you have not already joined us, what are you waiting for? :)
