Earth Day is coming up this Wednesday, April 22! How are you going to celebrate? Here are some simple ideas to bless the earth and your nourish your body.
Start a kitchen herb garden. Grow basil, mint, and rosemary. Use the basil to make dairy free pesto- basil, pine nuts, garlic and olives blended. Use the mint to steep in a tea or blend in a smoothie. Crush 10 blueberries and 3 mint leaves add sparkling water and a tiny bit of stevia for a refreshing drink. Take salmon and layer lemon slices and fresh rosemary, cover and bake for a delicious dinner.
Did you know that gardening and doing other hobbies helps reduce stress, lower cholesterol and blood pressure? It does. Enjoy gardening and cutting fresh flowers from your garden and share with a friend. You don't need to make a huge bouquet, the dollar store sells small bud vases for a little more than a dollar. Plus, if you need to transport them, they will sit in the car cup holder.
Buy a fruit tree- check the area where you live on what is recommended to grow. Avocados can be temperamental due to temperature. Short on space, buy a dwarf lemon or lime tree. They produce well and have a small footprint for land.
Drop me a line and let me know how youare going to celebrate Earth day.
Blessings,
Shelly
