Welcome Spring and Summer!

At last the snow has melted. With the welcome onset of warm weather, many of us are headed out to the garden. Here are a few tips to keep you healthy in the dirt!

• Take breaks - avoid doing the same activities for hours at a time. Break up heavy duty physical activities such as digging and rototilling into 15 minute segments.
• Wear gloves to protect your hands.
• Use a tool when digging into unfamiliar or new areas.
• Stay hydrated!
• Don't forget your sunblock
• Do some gentle stretches before and after your garden work.
