Plants are absolutely essential to life. None of our basic functions from breathing to eating to drinking would be possible without plants. Plants not only act as food sources but also release oxygen and help maintain the water table. The simple fact of the matter is that without plants we would not survive.
While there are many plants growing in the wild, people also cultivate and grow certain plants, bushes and shrubs in their homes or yards. This activity is known as gardening. While it may appear as a hobby to some, the fact is that gardening is actually quite beneficial and, therefore, important to us.
Gardening is a fairly physical activity. It involves weeding, watering of plants, mulching, trellising and harvesting – all of which require physical labour from the gardener. Hence, it becomes an excellent addition to your exercise routine.
Gardening as a group is a great activity, but for those of us who see gardening as a solitary pursuit, a mood apart and a respite from social interaction, there are still ways to contribute positively to our communities through our gardening efforts. Gardens increase property value, not just for the gardener’s home, but for the neighborhood as a whole. Though we may do our garden chores alone, there are endless opportunities to share produce, perennials and cut flowers with our neighbours and friends. |
