Hey Everyone, I hope you are all having a lovely weekend so far. It's Sunday morning and I saw some lovely plants when I went for a walk earlier.
And I just started watching my Sunday morning highlight,

So I have set up a new group consisting of one member (again LOL 😆 🙃 😅) #whoknew
And it's apparently true too:
Getting down and dirty is the best ‘upper’ – Serotonin
Getting your hands dirty in the garden can increase your serotonin levels – contact with soil and a specific soil bacteria, Mycobacterium vaccae, triggers the release of serotonin in our brain according to research. Serotonin is a happy chemical, a natural anti-depressant and strengthens the immune system. Lack of serotonin in the brain causes depression.

@Seymour I wear gardening gloves when handling anything with sphagnum moss because the fungus that causes Sporotrichosis can be found in it!
