Stress relief …Halsey says gardening has helped her find “emotional balance” during these stressful times. She recently shared some photos of her garden boxes on Instagram, along with the caption: “This is one of the many new hobbies I have acquired as the world turns differently. It is rewarding in ways I could have never imagined. Gonna have to build a few more garden bed boxes ... I hope you are all staying safe. Moments of simplicity like this are important for emotional balance, but the fight isn’t even close to over yet.
