It’s a difficult time for every single one of us. With so much uncertainty about this pandemic, you can’t help but feel anxious about everything that’s going on. Following the state’s orders is the best thing you can do for yourself and your family.
Most people will agree that this quarantine has resurfaced many mental health issues. Coping with them isn’t an easy task, but it’s important to find a healthy outlet where you can spend your time productively.
Since we can’t go outside, we need to make the most of our lawn during this time.
Here are some things you can do to in garden while in quarantine:
Prepare your garden for spring and summer
There are many jobs in the garden that you need to tackle before summers set in. Now that you’re home all the time, you can take care of them yourself. Before the spring flush, prune the plants in your garden. Woody plants like rose bushes and hydrangeas in particular need to be pruned to ward off disease and insects. You also need to fertilize smaller plants and shrubs, take care of the weeds, and till the beds.
Create an office space in the garden
Working from home can be a real drag if you’re uncomfortable. Your surroundings should stimulate your mind and motivate you to work with a positive attitude. With spring in full form, it would be a waste to spend all your time indoors. Create a workplace in your garden to make work from home better. A comfortable chair and a table the right height is all you need. Make sure you have a socket nearby if you need to charge your laptop or phone.
Workout in the garden
Since we can no longer visit gyms, that doesn’t mean we give up on fitness. It’s more important than ever to stick to stay active and fit during quarantine. Use your garden for exercise. It will motivate you and it can be made into a fun activity for the whole family.
Playtime with the kids
The kids must be really affected due to quarantine. They can no longer go to school every day and play with their friends. It must be a real bummer on what is supposed to be the most exciting time of the school year.
Schedule playtime with the kids while home-schooling them so that they are happy and healthy too. Set up some games in the garden like a football goal or even some swings so that they don’t miss going to the park as much.
