Later, Eve was deceived by Satan speaking through a serpent and ate the fruit. She then took the fruit to Adam and he ate it knowing he was doing the wrong thing.
Because they disobeyed what God had explicitly told them and chose to believe Satan, they began to experience spiritual death, and soon physical death.
God expelled them from the garden. Adam and Eve sinned by placing their desires above what God had told them and through this act sin entered the world. No longer would it be easy to harvest fruit. Thorns and weeds would make planting and harvesting hard labor. Men would have to work to eat. Women would give birth in pain. Animals became dangerous and carnivorous. Is this the end of the story about Adam and Eve? Gardens, by virtue of the human-made nature of their construction , allow us a means to connect to nature in a sort of self-determined way.
Even after spending hours pulling weeds and planting new vegetables every spring, I feel like my demeanor is far brighter than it was when I first pulled on my gardening gloves that day. As reported by Quartz , several studies have found that exposure to a specific bacteria commonly found in soil can increase levels of serotonin in the human brain. Serotonin is a chemical that increases feelings of well-being or happiness.
Gardens are important to the planet because, despite being human-made, they represent a natural environment. Plants and trees grow there, taking in carbon and releasing oxygen. The roots of these plants stabilize the soil and filter water. Municipal gardens and national parks become safe havens for all manner of wild creatures that might have been otherwise displaced by the endless urban sprawl of the modern world. Birds, bugs, and bees — especially honey bees — are essential to the lifecycle of the world at large.
Your backyard garden is bound to have its own native pollinators and your garden is a great way to coax them back into your life. If you live in an urban or suburban area but lack the space for a backyard garden, you may not be alone. Community gardens are a great way to build togetherness within a community.
Working together to split responsibilities, upfront costs, and the fruits of your labor, can help you understand and appreciate your neighbors in ways you might not have thought possible. Your health, your frame of mind, your community, and the environment — if those are not enough reasons for why gardening is important, we have a few more to give you.
