The benefits of gardening on mental and physical well-being are renowned. But here across the Front Range gardening isn’t just laying around in the hammock! (although there is that, too.) For gardening to truly increase your quality of life, a bit of pre-season preparation pays off.

Mindful Gardening: Who among us hasn’t pulled a muscle by beginning the heavy work after a winter of less movement? It’s important to stretch and attend to your body before the season gets underway. Watch this space for Yoga for Gardeners class announcements – with avid gardener and expert Yoga instructor Amy Ippoliti.
Ergonomic Tools: To protect from strains, selecting the right tools is a way of taking care of yourself. We’re particularly fond of Radius trowels, gardening forks and transplanting spades for varying tasks.
Medicinal and Healing Garden Plants: Tucking useful herbs into your plantings gives you the opportunity to create your own teas (from Lemon Balm, Mints, Chamomile, Nettles, Red Raspberry and more), balms (Comfrey, Calendula), and herbal health aids, right in your own backyard. We’ll offer classes with renowned local herbalist Brigitte Mars this spring and summer, to get you started, and we’ll carry all the plants you’ll need.
