Back in January we resolved to “Return to the Earth” in 2025, and Earth Day presents an opportunity to re-ground ourselves in appreciation of and commitment to the natural world. While April 22nd may be the official date, every day is Earth Day at Gardener's Supply! Clean soil, air, and water along with the biodiversity they facilitate are what bring our beds to life and substantiate our roles as gardeners. So in the spirit of gratitude and stewardship, let’s look at three distinct ways healthy soil benefits us humans—and three ways we can safeguard these benefits by showing our earth some love.

1. Immune System Support Early childhood exposure to soil microbes strengthens the immune system and lowers the risk of diseases such as asthma. Soil biodiversity and diverse microbial communities enhance immunity and help protect us against pathogens. ♻️ Set your soil up for success: Deep Root and other raised beds empower you to control your soil from the start—and ensure proper aeration and drainage. - DIG DEEP

2. Mental Wellness Getting our hands in the dirt puts us in direct contact with microorganisms and beneficial bacteria that can improve mental health. Mycobacterium vaccae, for example, can trigger a release of serotonin in the brain. ♻️ Work organic fertilizers into your soil with tools like our Lifetime Trowel to replenish nutrients, stimulate microorganisms, and improve structure. - Stay Grounded

3. Nutrient-Dense Food & Gut Health Healthy soil is foundational to growing the delicious and nutrient-rich produce that’s part of an optimal diet. Soil microorganisms influence the gut microbiome, which in turn affects digestion and other functions through the gut-brain axis. ♻️ Give back to your soil by amending it with compost to increase biological activity, fertility, and water-holding capacity. - Bestow Riches
