FAQ About Mental Health Benefits of Caring for Indoor Plants
How does indoor gardening compare to other mindfulness practices?
Indoor gardening is similar to other mindfulness practices as it requires focus, presence, and a connection with the moment. Like practices such as meditation and yoga, indoor gardening promotes relaxation and mindfulness by encouraging attention to the task and environment. However, it also provides a tangible outcome—the growth of plants—that can enhance feelings of accomplishment and motivation, potentially distinguishing it from other mindfulness exercises.
