CHICAGO: Summer Gardening by Dr. Munavvar Izhar.
Gardening is a passion and hobby for Dr. Izhar, Munavvar and his family. It is a great source of physical activity (Grade IV) strengthening the quads, lower back, and trunk especially. It also diverts the mind from mundane day to day tasks and gives a different purpose filled with the beauty of nature and colors. It is a type of mindful activity similar to meditation.
“Growing flowers and plants is also akin to raising children” says Munavvar Izhar as it requires care, compassion, nurturing, guidance, and protection just like a child does.
Dr. Izhar is not only himself passionate in gardening but has instilled an interest in his children, neighbors, and friends too. He teaches them techniques to properly secure, anchor and ground the plants and then teaches them the subsequent follow up care just like a physician does with their patients.
