Plant lovers, rejoice! Get your green thumbs ready for Plant Something Day on May 19. This day is all about celebrating the joy and benefits of planting and growing various flora, whether it's in your backyard or in a small pot on your windowsill. The holiday was first established by the National Initiative for Consumer Horticulture as a way to promote the importance of plants in our lives – from providing oxygen and beautifying our surroundings, to bringing a sense of tranquility and relaxation. So grab some seeds, soil, and a watering can and let's get planting!
Get your hands dirty and plant a garden in your backyard or in containers on your balcony. Choose flowers, fruits, vegetables, or herbs to add some greenery to your space.
Spend the day giving back by volunteering at a community garden. Not only will you be planting something, but you'll also be helping to beautify and provide resources for your community.
