I am with you in encouraging people in Gardening. Perhaps this current Pandemic taught people the importance of planting in their own backyard. Because of this pandemic, where most are encouraged to stay at home to avoid the risk of the virus, people started to plant seeds for their own consumption. Before this thing happened, I have already started my vegetable garden and was able to harvest some of it during the quarantine period. I still continue to do it and I included beautiful indoor plants and invested in good clay pots. Aside from the oxygen that the plants give us, it also gives good vibes into our home.
