Mind Visualization

Whether you are an apartment dweller or cave dweller or anything in between, gardening can be an effective and therapeutic way of healing your mind. According to experts, herbs gardening may be the most therapeutic and soothing to the nerves. Plus, you can also reap the rewards when it’s time to harvest.

Yes, herb gardening has many advantages:

• You’ll have all the fresh herbs that you want.
• You’ll have organically grown herbs.
• You will save a lot of money.
• Helps you relax your mind after a very busy and stressful day.

You don’t really need to have a very big space for your herbs garden. A small plot at the back of your home is enough for your herbs garden.

On the other hand, if you live in an apartment building and you do not have access to a garden plot, you can always grow some herbs on pots. Having an indoor herbs garden can be a lot of fun.

Of course there is some research you need to do prior to starting your garden. You need to know what types of herbs are suitable in your area. Note that climate and space affects the growth of your herbs.

Find out more about the different types of herbs from herb gardening books. There are plenty of books about herbs gardening in the library or on-line. Online research saves a lot of time so you can get started with your herbs gardening project almost right away but sometimes having gardening books on the coffee table can serve to bring part of the garden indoors also.

Now that you have started your herb gardening process, you can now starting hunting for planting materials.

If you live in an apartment, you can start looking for pots. You may also look into getting some racks where you can stack your pots. Keep in mind that decorative pots and racks will also make your place look better. Aesthetics is an essential part of healing garden therapy.

Remember that you have limited space in your apartment so do not crowd your place with big plants. You also need to choose herbs that are easy to grow and take care of.

Gauge your time. If you are a very busy person, you may not really have much time to take care of your plants so you need plants that require minimal attention. You may also choose to start with seedlings or full-grown plants instead of starting them from seed.

Popular Excuses

Don’t worry if you don’t have a backyard. There are so many ways to get your own garden oasis. Many cities have started community gardens where you are assigned a small area of land where you can start your garden.

These days, there is no excuse for not having a garden. But we will try. Here are some excuses:

I’m allergic to soil.
Try hydroponic gardening.

I live in an apartment with no balcony or lanai.
Get an Aquarium – Really, this is an underwater garden.

My landlord won’t allow me to have an aquarium.
Get a Portable Zen Rock Garden. Last I checked, Barnes and Noble had one for less than $8. It came with a rake and everything.

Portable Water Fountain – Due to the popularity of water fountains, you should have no trouble finding a table model you like.

I’m allergic to water. Okay, that’s it. Forget it. No more garden therapy for you!
Get a wind chime.
