If You Dig Gardening, It’s Time to Celebrate across Wembley

Do something positive for you, your community, and the planet’s health by celebrating National Gardening Week. A two-minute read.

If You Dig Gardening, It’s Time to Celebrate across Wembley
There’s nothing quite like a bit of digging, watering, or pruning to calm the nerves and soothe the soul.
 
Gardening is good for our mental and physical health, reducing the risk of depression, osteoporosis, and stroke and – added bonus alert – it’s great for the environment, too!
 
Along with making our surroundings look nicer, gardening cleans the air and soil, helps fight global warming, and supports wildlife.
 
That’s why it’s time to get behind the Royal Horticultural Society’s National Gardening Week, which kicked off on Monday (2 – 8 May).

Even if you don’t have a garden, you can still participate.
 
Here are six ways to celebrate National Gardening Week in Wembley.
 
1)     If you have little ones in your life (children, grandchildren, nieces or nephews), make flower crowns or daisy chains with them. While you’re busy making, chat to them about the wonders of nature.
 
2)     Build a bug hotel in your garden using recycled natural materials such as terracotta pots, logs, twigs, and wooden pallets. Bug hotels attract insects such as bees (excellent for pollinating your plants), ladybirds, and woodlice. And if you’re lucky, the odd frog or hedgehog might check in, too.
 
3)     If you don’t have any outdoor space, liven up your windowsill with a colourful flower box or plant some pots of herbs like oregano, chives, and mint (they’ll taste great in your cooking).
 
4)     It’s not too late to get started on a veggie patch in your garden by planting tomatoes, beetroot, carrots, and courgettes. Add a few sweet peas, too – you can’t eat them, but they produce colourful flowers that are pollinator-friendly, so they will improve your crop yield.
 
5)     Join a gardening club or wildlife society where you can learn more about the natural world and meet people with similar interests.
 
6)     Put your name down for an allotment. Bag yourself a plot on an allotment and you’re bound to meet other greenfingers with whom you can swap gardening tips and produce.
 
We’d love to see what you’re growing at home. Take a snap and share it with us on social media on Faceboook, or Twitter and not forgetting Instagram. #NationalGardeningWeek

  Hello, my name is Abigail, and I am the Grey in Grey & Co. I started working here in 2002 as a Junior Negotiator and have worked my way up the ranks since then. I took over running the company in 2014 and have been enjoying the roller coaster that is leadership ever since.   During my 20 plus years at Grey & Co I have dealt with the sale of over £100,000,000 worth of property and overseen the management of assets worth £250,000,000 for clients around the world.   I also had the pleasure of working with my father, the founder of Grey & Co, for 15 years before he sadly passed away and from him, I learnt the work hard ethic and our values today are still the ones that he founded the company on all those years ago.   Be Remarkable, Be Passionate, Be Humble and Be Better.   As a community centric boutique family agency, you couldn’t find a better partner to take with you on your property journey.
