I have been suffering from depression and anxiety and have started gardening as a. Response to my landlord moaning about the overgrown front garden. I cannot believe how satisfying and relaxing it is and I wish I'd discovered it sooner!

It's the main exercise I get and gives me the energy and the solitude to be able to do my job (in mental health)

I do a bit every day. I've an allotment and now have a new massive garden too.

So much to do, and a whole life to do it Smile

I agree. It empties my head in the same way running does and gives me a real sense of accomplishment.
