Nature’s Prescription: Cultivating Stress Relief One Tree at a Time

The hustle and bustle of city life and the coldness of concrete jungles are detaching us from nature and starting to turn us into robots. However, even a tiny seed, a cherry sapling, is enough to remind us of our connection to the soil and the beauty of nature.

I spent my years as an engineer working on construction sites in stress. Between drawings and deadlines, we sold our time and perhaps more importantly, a piece of our finite lives. When we are young, time seems endless, but as we age, the value of every moment increases exponentially. Finding happiness and fulfillment in a job we love, away from stress, is the greatest treasure in life.

This quest brought me back to nature. I bought a cherry orchard in the fertile lands of the Aegean, in Turgutlu, Manisa. There were various trees in the garden, but I didn’t know the types of trees, it was a sharp reminder of how far I had strayed from nature.

I left my old job and started a brand new journey. Plans and calculations were replaced by books, research and experiments. My engineering skills have found a new purpose in this complex world.

In these blog posts, I will share my cherry growing adventures with you. You will learn about grafting techniques, pruning, irrigation, fertilization and pest control. I will also share my experiences with other fruit trees in the garden and the joy of my new life immersed in nature without stress free.

I hope this blog inspires everyone interested in agriculture and wanting to reconnect with nature. Maybe one day you too will break free from monotony, feel the soil under your fingertips and embrace the rhythm of the seasons. Remember, our essence comes from the earth, water and nature itself.
