Community Gardens
Growing and digging in the great outdoors can be an absolute wonder cure for stress, but it can also be a serious stress generator. One way that I have found to balance the two is working on a community allotment. This is a extra large plot at the allotment site where a group of people gather every Sunday and tend a large selection of communal beds. One of the reasons that it works so well is because you don’t have to do everything yourself. Depending on the type of person that you are you will find different types of gardening jobs relaxing and other ones will be completely stressful. Some people absolutely love to go around with the watering can giving thirsty plants a drink, others like digging, others find weeding to be one of the most calming activities ever invented. The beauty is that you don’t have to do everything yourself. There was a great utopian philosopher called Charles Fourier, who believed deeply in cooperation and that different people were suited to different types of labour, it is only when you were doing the type of labour that you were unsuited for that your happiness and the function of society broke down. This type of cooperation is fundamental to the relief of stress at a community allotment. I will always treasure the great conversations that I have while working with others, I end up talking about everything from the best lead generation companies to my favourite courgette recipe. Great for stress relief!
