Greet the spring by getting outside
18 Sep 2020
Greet the spring by getting outside. Even if it’s just a few pots on a deck, a garden provides lots of exercise and the fresh air we need to keep healthy.
Tip: Don’t do too much to start with, as muscles tend to be sluggish at first.
Mix vegetables and flowers (a potager) for a productive and decorative look.
Tip: Choose beans and peas with pretty flowers, or silverbeet with coloured stems to enhance your floral colour scheme.
Bring back the bees with herbs like lavender, rosemary and thyme.
Tip: Growing from seed is very cost-effective: share surplus with friends.
