3 Reasons to Start the New Year with a Garden Subscription
Sierra Leeper | January 13, 2025
The beginning of a new year is a time full of resolutions and goal setting. Planning for a new year can be a great time of both looking to the past in self-reflection and looking to the future to dream and explore. One of the hardest parts of starting a new year, though, is finding practical ways to set and work toward goals that will help your mind, body, and soul. Starting the year off with a garden subscription is a great way to take the stress and research out of gardening and give you the opportunity to improve your quality of life with an achievable goal.
At Leaf’d Box, we do all the hard work for you, researching plant types and planting dates by climate and season, and delivering your perfectly curated plantlings right to your doorstep. All you have to do is plant, water, and watch your garden grow!
Here are 3 reasons why you should start a garden subscription for 2025:
Stress Relief and Mental Health Support
Gardening allows us to get outdoors and connect with the world around us. Research shows that getting outside and breathing fresh air every day can improve not only our physical health, but our mental health as well. Tending to growing plants and watching our hard work pay off is a great way to physically see our goals come to fruition and boost our self-esteem. It reminds us that we are capable of growth, just like our beautiful gardens!
The act of tending to plants, watering them, and even working in the soil can also lower our stress levels and be a great way to blow off steam. Gardens are a wonderful mood-booster!
Access to Fresh Food and Sustainability
Starting a garden subscription for 2025 means you will get four seasons of fresh plantlings delivered to your door. You’ll grow a whole year’s worth of fresh fruits, veggies, and herbs without ever having to leave your home!
There is no way to get fresher food than to grow it at home. And on top of that, growing your own food from home is an amazing way to save money on groceries, have a consistent supply of nutritious food, and even share the joys of heartfelt healthy foods with your community. It also cuts down on grocery store waste, plastic packaging, and shipping costs, making it a sustainable choice that benefits not only you but the planet as a whole.
Exploration of New Plant Types and Skill Development
One of the best parts of growing a Leaf’d Box subscription garden is getting to branch out and experiment with new and unique plant varieties. While we love sending classic garden staples that are sure to grow and be enjoyed by the whole family, we also love getting to explore sending interesting and uncommon plants each season that people may not have heard of otherwise.
Part of the fun of gardening is learning from our plants and developing new skills, and there’s no better way to connect with nature than to grow something new! As we grow our seasonal gardens, we practice valuable skills together, like patience, perseverance, and problem-solving which can help us achieve many of the other goals we may have for 2025.
Starting a garden subscription with Leaf’d is a no-hassle way to start off a new, fresh year. And we have many options to choose from!
We wish you a wonderful new year, and we can’t wait to grow with you in 2025! Join our gardening community and be a part of the #EasiestGardenEver experience. Happy gardening!
