Narrative Report Interview
Every aspect of life has been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, including
social ecologies, the economy, health, and education. People have been compelled to
remain inside their homes due to quarantine restrictions, which has resulted in the "new
normal" of life and adaption. One hobby that has become more popular with Filipinos
from the start of the lockdown until the present is gardening. Home gardening quickly
grew widely in both urban and rural locations. The terms "plantito" (used for men) and
"plantita" (used for women) refer to those who appreciate taking care of plants. The goal
of this qualitative study is to investigate and describe how home gardening increased
among Filipinos during the pandemic.
Being a plant aficionado has several advantages. You feel like you're outside when
you're with plants. Even in your personal garden, seeing green makes you feel
rejuvenated and at ease. Plants can help your home's indoor air quality. The fact that
plants can improve mental health just by being in the same room is another reason why
he never ceased being a "plantito." Additionally, plants can benefit your physical health
in addition to your mental wellness. Our immune systems can benefit from them,
especially during flu season. So it’s like hitting 2 birds with one stone.
