We explore why gardening can ease depression and release our happy chemicals - with amazing results. We just have to get our fingers dirty and harvest our own veggies or fruit. New research shows that key gardening has triggers that release serotonin and dopamine, these are our happy chemicals. Gardening stops us ruminating about stuff that bothers us, keeping us in the present and gives us powerful micro organisms that can help. Research also shows us that an ancient response happens when we harvest food which releases dopamine, into the reward center of our brain, much like shopping does. Gardening can really ease anxiety, stress and depression and give us a sense of connection. Plants can bring us a sens of cheerfulness, which is healing and uplifting and you can do it even in an apartment.
