Experience shared by Avantika Srivastav on Home Gardening
“Gardening is a great exercise as it helps you in de-stressing. My job as a banker involves a lot of time and energy which is often exhausting. With gardening, I de-stress myself and also contribute in a great way to nature by growing more greenery around me and my family. It is also a great source of calorie burner as researchers say that every element of time spent in the garden, even simply taking a leisurely stroll and watering the plants, burns calories and the more time you spend cultivating your green space, the more exercise you’ll be providing your body with.With so many indoor plants available in the market, you can easily do gardening even in the apartment structure. This not only purifies the air but also enhances the aesthetic of your dwelling.” says Avantika Srivastav
