Podcast Episode Ninety-Two: The Mental and Physical Benefits of Growing Your Own Garden

Growing your own garden has a lot of mental and physical benefits for your overall health. In this episode, we’re talking about how garden fresh produce costs less, has more nutrients your body needs, and just tastes better all around. Plus, we share tips on how to get started with your own garden, even if you have seasonal allergies that keep you from going outside.
