Plant Your Seeds at These Community Gardens in the Hudson Valley

As the weather gets warmer, the sun starts to shine brighter and flowers start to blossom, we all can rejoice. The birds begin chirping earlier and everyone seems to be a bit happier.

More than ever, we can begin to spend more time outside and in nature. For a lot of people, this is how they relax, unwind and feel good on the inside.

For me, being in nature is very important and benefits my mental health which then improves my overall wellbeing. There's something so soothing about mother nature. The more time we spend in it, the more we become connected with ourselves.

What's your favorite outdoor activity?

Some Hudson Valley residents enjoy walking, biking, hiking, exploring, and even gardening. It seems that everyone has a different activity that brings them joy. For me, it truly is all of the above. 

My grandmother used to love flowers and had a passion for keeping her garden flourishing. I would imagine that tending to mother nature's beings would be relaxing.

I know a lot of people in the Hudson Valley who also take pride in their gardens. Some of them have the space to do so while others rent out a plot in a local community garden.

Depending on location, backyard, and greenery to plant, it may be easier to rent an area.
