Get your hands dirty – it’s good for you
Studies at Alnarp, a branch of Sweden’s Agricultural University, indicate that the actual physical contact with plants can have positive, even healing effects. Luckily, there’s ginger. Like a cake you can both have and eat, you can break off pieces to savour (when it’s still in the soil!) and leave the rest to keep sprouting goodness.
Gardening is (apparently) child’s play
Seeding tomatoes is another super easy way to sprout new life. Also, it makes for an activity so playfully colourful it screams for attention. Simply place slices in soil and tend it. Spring is an ideal time to sow, so round up the family for a planting session.
