Now that self-isolation and lockdown are here, so many of the things we rushed around spending time doing have been thrown into disarray.
However, the fantastic news is that lots of us can now connect with nature and food itself by getting outside and creating edible gardens.
Some benefits of growing food at home include:
• Mental and physical wellbeing
• Protective health – helping the body resist disease and recover from illness.
• Educational
• Ornamental
• Entertaining and fun!
There is also something phenomenally rewarding about eating your own home grown veggies and fruit that you have been eagerly waiting for.
If the whole idea of setting up and starting your own food garden sounds daunting then don’t worry because Bloomscape Gardens will come and get things up and running and then you can enjoy the fun bits of growing food, like harvesting and eating.
In addition, there are tons of vegetables and fruit varieties that have amazing qualities including stunning flower, leaf colour and great for attracting wildlife and insects.
We can use almost any part of the garden – whether it’s on the patio or veggie patch, on the window sill or dotted amongst your ornamental beds. We can even make edible food gardens in shade or full sun.
Please note that Bloomscape Gardens will continue with our services providing that social distancing can be guaranteed by our staff and our clients. Please see note and link below:
Businesses that can remain open: Non-essential work
Non-essential work can continue to operate where it does not pose a risk to public health. Where individuals work alone outside their own household and are able to enforce strict social distancing at all times, this work can continue (for example, artists working alone in their own studio; individual gardeners, individual tradespeople).
