Working in the dirt is good for you!
All employees are required to get in the soil. We believe that the soil is grounding and good for the immune system. Further research on gardening found it improved life satisfaction and mood. Digging in the dirt really does lift your spirits. The digging stirs up microbes in the soil. Inhaling these microbes can stimulate serotonin production, which can make you feel relaxed and happier.
