Gardening tips and tricks from your team at Red Rock:

🌸 Use a stool if possible to prevent excess strain on your back and lower body
🌸 Avoid excessive rotational movements by keeping the gardening task directly in front of you
🌸 Keep plants, dirt, mulch, etc. close to your belly when lifting and walking
🌸 While lifting, reaching, and carrying gardening items, engage your core muscles
🌸 Bend with your knees and not your back
🌸 Keep hydrated during these dry, warm, sunny days
🌸Take breaks when needed and admire your work
