Gardening For Your Health with Dr. Tracy Larson

Spring is here right on time. There has never been a more important time to pause. To step out into the yard, take a deep breath, smell spring in the air and the grass beneath your toes. It's time to reconnect with nature and enjoy the emotional and physical benefits of gardening. It's a great way to get outdoors, reconnect with nature and practice social distancing!
