There Is Just Something Special About Gardening!

There are so many benefits to gardening, both physically and emotionally.  It gets you outdoors into the sunlight, absorbing that Vitamin D we all need!  When you are digging, hauling around dirt and plants and just MOVING in the garden, it’s great exercise.  This exercise, in turn, aids in better sleep, weight loss, heart health and even boosting your immune system! 

Gardening can assist with your mental health by providing relaxation and stress relief, and even reducing anxiety!  Studies have shown it can help relieve depression as well.  To see the fruits of your labor instills a sense of pride in yourself and your garden!  When you plant something in the ground, or a pot, and watch it grow and flourish, it is such a feeling of accomplishment! 

I personally believe teaching children where their food comes from, how it is grown, and what the benefits are, at a young age is an important part of their growth and development.   We all must eat, so teach them while they are young to appreciate that food and learn where it starts before they see it on their plates!

We’ve searched the internet and found a couple of great articles we thought you might be interested in reading:

Spring Is On It’s Way!

Last year March introduced the Pandemic into our lives and brought about a vast array of changes to our daily lives.  One year later, we are finally starting to see the “light at the end of the tunnel”.  Please continue to be vigilant and safe in protecting yourself and your loved ones. 

March has many special days and things to celebrate. We can use some happy times right now! The following was taken from a post by the Farmer’s Almanac.

MARCH CALENDAR

  • March 8 is International Women’s Day, which is a day that not only celebrates the achievements of women and the progress made toward women’s rights, but also brings attention to ongoing struggles for equality around the world.
  • March 14 is the start of Daylight Saving Time, which begins at 2:00 A.M. that day. If your area observes it, don’t forget to “spring forward” and set the clocks one hour ahead, or you may find yourself an hour late to everything! 
  • March 15 is the Ides of March! Legend surrounds this ill-fated day. Beware the Ides of March!
  • March 15 is also Clean Monday. Also called Pure Monday, this day marks the beginning of Great Lent for followers of the Eastern Orthodox Christian Church. This day is like Ash Wednesday of the Western Church.
  • March 17 is St. Patrick’s Day. According to folklore, folks wear a shamrock on St. Patrick’s Day because the saint used its three leaves to explain the Trinity. 
  • March 20 brings about the March equinox—also called the vernal or spring equinox in the Northern Hemisphere—marking the beginning of spring. In the Southern Hemisphere, this date marks the autumnal equinox and the beginning of fall. On this day, the Sun stands directly over Earth’s equator.
  • March 27 is the start of Passover, which begins at sundown on this day. 
  • March 29-31 are known as the Borrowing Days. According to lore, the last three days of March have a reputation for being stormy.

Soon it will be time for BBQ’s and yard work, and we can certainly help with that.  Visit Dream Products.com to find a selection of Lawn & Garden items  to help you prepare your yard for Spring. 

 Spring is also a great time to organize and “Declutter” your home.  We have a large assortment of items that help you with that chore as well!

It’s been an unprecedented year of trials and tribulations.  Let’s all set a goal to make THIS YEAR a year of healing, health and helping others! 

Stay safe my friends!

This proverb has long been aligned with the month of March. When March begins it is still winter (lion), but by the end of the month, spring has begun (lamb). We’ve had quite the “lion” of a winter this year and I know, I for one, am looking so forward to the beginning of spring when new life begins to blossom everywhere!

March 8th is also the beginning of Daylight Savings Time (for all the states that still do the change). Don’t forget to change your clocks to gain another hour of sunlight! Love those late evening sunsets!

At DreamProuducts.com we offer so many items to help you get your spring off to a beautiful start. Take a moment to check out some of our Lawn & Garden items such as the Pro Shop Blower and Quick Lawn .

So you get an extra day this month! What are you going to do with it? We all seem to run so short of time in our busy daily lives, how can we take advantage of being given an extra day? My “go to” is always try to reach out to someone who could use a friend. A helping hand. A kind smile. Why not use your extra day to bring joy to someone else? We all can make a difference in someone else’s life with a simple kind gesture. Put forth joy and it will return to you!

There are some interesting holidays in the month of February, whether it’s a leap year or not! So, what do we think that ol’ Groundhog is going to do this February 2nd on Groundhogs Day? Fun little tradition, with no real facts to support the superstition, but regardless that little guy gets a lot of attention on this date. I’m ready for Spring, so hoping Phil sees his shadow this year!

Valentine’s Day (Feb. 14th) is a Friday this year. Nice for long weekend get away with someone you love. Or for those single folks, perfect day to show some SELF LOVE! How about checking out DreamProducts.com for Unique Items At Affordable Prices for your loved one, or for yourself!

President’s Day on the 17th is more than just a day off for a lot of people. It is a time to reflect on our country, how far we’ve come and how far we have yet to go!

Spring is right around the corner and Dream Products offers many items to help you prepare your home for the coming season. Check out our Lawn & Garden category to ready your yard for spring. If you are looking to do some Spring Cleaning, we have many items in our Housewares category that can help with that chore!

Whatever you do with your February, and extra day, enjoy it! Life goes by quickly and we need to grab hold of every second, as if it’s our last!

Ah yes, we’ve been waiting for you! The snow is melting, the trees are starting to bud, and the first hint of flowers are starting to peek through the recently frozen earth. My favorite time of year!

Technically, the March equinox is Tuesday, March 20, 2018 at 12:15 P.M. EDT.

Astronomically speaking, the equinox falls on March 19 or 20 every year, marking spring’s beginning in the Northern Hemisphere (whereas it announces fall’s arrival in the Southern Hemisphere). The equinox happens at the same moment worldwide, even if our clock times reflect a different time zone.

Meteorologically speaking, in the Northern Hemisphere, the official spring season always begins on March 1 and continues through May 31.

All that info is interesting, but to me, the important thing is that Spring is the beginning of new life everywhere we look! Time to start our gardening and enjoy watching the fruits of our labor start to blossom and bloom!

A perfect time to take a look at our Lawn and Garden Category at www.DreamProducts.com! We offer a wide array of items to help make Springtime YOUR favorite time of year too!

Protect Your Delicate Skin While Gardening With One Simple Solution

Here at the offices of Dream Products our staff members occasionally test out our items at home and give us their feedback. Linda, an avid gardener, gave our Gardener Sleeves a try. Here’s her review:

Recently, I knew I had to tackle a bush in my yard that was full of thorns and I was dreading taking on that job. My skin is thinning, as it tends to do with age, so I get terrible bruise/blood marks on my arms, especially when I’m gardening. I just knew that my arms would be an absolute mess by the time I finished trimming the bush and cleaning up the mess.

I was browsing through the gardening section on our Dream Products website, looking for something that might help me take on this daunting task, when I came across the Gardener Sleeves. They sounded perfect so I thought I’d give them a try. Boy, was I glad I did! They literally saved me!

I was able to work unencumbered and yet my arms were protected and I didn’t get any of the blood marks or bruising I was expecting. No scratches or bug bites either!

I had to make sure I told our merchandise buyer what a great idea these sleeves are! Thin enough that they aren’t too hot or uncomfortable, but thick enough to protect my skin! Every gardener should have a pair of these! Even if you haven’t started experiencing the thin skin issues, just to avoid the bites and scratches you get when gardening, they are a must have! I’m going to make sure I get several pairs so I can pass them out to my gardening friends and always have a pair handy for myself!

Thanks to our staff member, Linda, for her candid review of our Gardener Sleeves! If you’ve tried them, feel free to let us know how they’ve helped you in the comments!
