That guy who climbed the jackfruit is really a winner! 😆
Kidding aside, it's heartwarming to realize that gardening can strengthen community engagement and relationships. Yes, you said it powerfully that gardening is a good avenue to strengthen relationships in the community through sharing. I imagine sharing garden produce with our neighbors, and when difficult times come, they will remember your generosity and won't hesitate to lend a hand as well.
The mangoes' therapeutic effect on your dad's condition is remarkable. That's how plants provide spiritual benefits.
And of course, the economic benefits are very practical. They go along with health benefits since growing our own food can help us save expenses while keeping us safe against harmful chemicals that commercial producers use for their vegetables.
Thanks for sharing your garden philosophy. We have several things in common, but I like the way you add 'strengthening community relationships' to your philosophy. I never realized this before. 💚
