Celebrating the 10th Anniversary of Village Green’s Blog

Blog 10 years starsToday we have an anniversary to celebrate. Today, April 17, 2019, marks exactly 10 years since we published our very first Village Green blog post.

This blog was the brainchild of Paula Gallagher, one of our excellent, long-time nutritionists.

Cell memories literally impact everything – the expression of our genes, the physical functioning of the body, and of course our actions, thoughts and emotions.

Benefits of Gardening to Relieve Stress

gardeningWe finally had warmish, sunshiney weather over the weekend and all I wanted to do was be outside cleaning up the garden and yard. And although I have to hold off on planting outside as we are still getting below freezing temperatures at night, it felt great to get my hands dirty.

Gardening can be incredibly rewarding, and one of the benefits of gardening is that it’s an excellent way to relieve stress. Physically digging, raking, and pruning are great for releasing tension.
