ALTON - Earth Day 2022 marks the perfect time to pledge to improve yourself and the world around you. A low-impact workout through gardening accomplishes both. Kelly Bogowith, a physical therapist at OSF HealthCare in Alton, Illinois , says planting roots – literally – is the jump start many need after being cooped up all winter.
