Gardening Is Therapy: A Soothing Escape and a Path to Fresh, Homegrown Food

Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

As we navigate a new grim normal, nothing is as therapeutic as gardening.

Not only does it offer relief from anxiety and a way to unwind, but it can also prove beneficial for anyone looking to grow their own fresh fruits and vegetables. In today’s social media age, platforms such as Black Girls Gardening and Black Girls With Gardens provide valuable tips for beginners and fresh ideas for seasoned gardeners.

For those who don’t have the luxury of a large plot of land, gardening is still very much within reach. With just a flower pot on your balcony, you can grow a variety of vegetables, as long as they receive enough sunlight and proper care.

Here are some great options to get started:

  • Leafy Greens – Lettuce, spinach, kale, arugula (great for small spaces)
  • Herbs – Basil, cilantro, parsley, mint, chives (perfect for seasoning dishes)
  • Tomatoes – Cherry or dwarf tomato varieties thrive in pots
  • Peppers – Bell peppers, jalapeños, and chili peppers do well in containers
  • Carrots – Choose small or round varieties like “Parisian” carrots
  • Radishes – Fast-growing and perfect for small pots
  • Green Onions – Easy to grow and regrow from store-bought ones
  • Bush Beans – Compact and great for container gardening
  • Cucumbers – Look for bush or dwarf varieties

Make sure your pots have good drainage, nutrient-rich soil, and at least 6 hours of sunlight per day for the best results.

Another excellent alternative is community gardening. Typically, community gardens involve a piece of land cultivated by a group of people, either individually or collectively. The land is often divided into individual plots, where each gardener is responsible for the care and production of their own space. For anyone looking to experience a sense of togetherness while planting their seeds, consider exploring community garden plots in your area.
