A Sense of Tranquility in the Middle of a Lockdown through Urban Gardening INQUIRER.net BrandRoom/ 03:16 PM August 06, 2020 The "new normal" is a phrase often heard nowadays ever since the pandemic broke out. Wearing a mask when going outside and practicing social distancing are just some of the rules that need to be followed now. Despite this, it's inspiring to see people think of ways to keep themselves occupied while on quarantine. K While some resort to bringing out their inner artist, others are experimenting more with food and how they can put together a decent yet tasty meal with what they have in their fridge. This is because of the supply shortage that happened when the lockdown started. But this also birthed the interest of many to plant their own produce at home. Not only do you get that farm-to-table experience but planting also helps reduce stress and anxiety by bringing a sense of tranquility. To be able to engage and unite the community, ARC Refreshment Corporation launched its new advocacy program dubbed as "Tulay ng Pangarap". This is a long-term program that demonstrates the company's resiliency amidst the new normal. In line with this is the kickoff of the "My Gulay Garden" project, which aims to promote gardening and sustainability by encouraging their consumers to reuse their colorful RC Cola PET bottles as plant pots for the fruits, vegetables, and herbs that they want to grow in their own space here in the metro.
