Gardening Can Be a Very Relaxing and Beneficial Hobby

Gardening is a hobby that allows you to get in touch with the earth that we all came from. Gardening can also help a lot of people to get in touch with themselves, as they go through the cycle of growing plants, flowers and vegetables and spend a lot of time outdoors by themselves.

Gardening need not be an expensive hobby, as it requires few basic things, besides a plot of land you can call your own.

However, down the line, as gardeners become more enthusiastic, they may find themselves spending a fair bit of money getting in the latest gadgets and machinery, trying to grow exotic flowers and other things that do need you to spend some money.



Gardening is an enjoyable outdoor activity, and is one of the most popular form of leisure exercise, as it does take out the monotony of exercise regimes, while giving you all the benefits of a good workout.

Ensure that you do all the required chores yourself. So bending down to do the weeding, turning over a garden bed, with a shovel in your hand, lugging compost, wheelbarrows and mowing with the lawnmower can be good substitutes for exercise.

You of course, do cheat a bit if you go in for a mechanized lawnmower, or other means to take out the physical activity needed for gardening. An hour of gardening can burn up three hundred calories and help you to keep your wight in check.



Children find gardening a very thrilling hands-on experience. They look at the plants, flowers and vegetables that are created, with a sense of wonder.

Involve your children in your gardening efforts, and you will find their involvement and excitement, something that reduces your own stress.

Give them a small plot of their own, and you will find the enthusiasm that they have for this, will add to your enjoyment of gardening.



A garden can help you to create a very peaceful place around your home. This can more than help you to relax, as when you are sitting around enjoying the greenery and calmness, you have the additional satisfaction that you have done this yourself.

If you find such garden chores repetitive and monotonous, alternate activities to different days. Plants are very forgiving and will rarely accuse you of neglect.

Gardening is a hobby that can unite everyone, regardless of age and sex. It is a hobby that is practiced quite often by neighbors and other social acquaintances.

So this gives you a topic for discussion when you meet.

Much better than discussing the economy, politics, world events or other things which are more than likely to get your blood pressure up.



Garden spaces can be ideal spots for gatherings with friends and families. They will also give a different perspective to your home.

Planning a garden can be one activity that can take up a fair bit of time.

You tend to forget all other matters when you are doing this, and this is definitely one way to relax.
