Kindness Counts

Writer's picture: The Gardening TeamThe Gardening Team

Hello Gardeners!


We can all strive to be a little more empathetic, a little more helpful, and a little more ✨KIND✨. When people are kind to us, we feel strong and supported - we feel less alone. It's so important to spread that feeling of love and support as far as we can reach!



Recently, the Gardening Team came across this news segment of two NJ towns that came together to inspire kindness in every member of their communities. Watch the segment below!



These days, we tend to focus on what divides us, rather than what brings us together. We can ALL be kind, respectful, and accepting!


How do you choose to spread kindness?


Do you include your classmates in games and at recess?

Are you respectful of your teachers and coaches?

Do you speak nicely of others, even when they're not around?

Are you willing to lend a hand when help is needed?

Do you give back to your community?



There are so many ways we can #PayItForward and #SpreadKindness. See if your school has Kindness Week - if it doesn't, work with a parent or teacher to make it happen in your school!


If you REALLY want to take it to the next level, consider becoming a RAKtivist® (Random Acts of Kindness Activist) with the Random Acts of Kindness organization. This is a place for people to inspire and help others with their words and actions. We need more kindness ambassadors in the world! Click here to learn more.


And remember to #PullYourWeeds and help others pull theirs! Inspire others to take interest and ownership over their emotional wellness!!
