GARDENING

What is gardening?
 the activity of tending and cultivating a garden, especially as a pastime.
 Gardening is the growing of plants such as flowers, shrubs and trees as
a hobby or recreation. Some people also grow vegetables or fruitin their
gardens.
 People do gardening outdoors in the soil in their backyard, or in pots or
containers on their balcony or on their patio. Some people do gardening
on a roof.
 People do indoor gardening inside their house or inside a building.
Sometimes indoor gardening is done in greenhouses, which are
special buildings where plants are grown. A greenhouse has a
transparent glass or plastic roof and walls that
let sunlight in. Watergardening is growing plants in ornamental pools and
ponds. People doing water gardening plant water lilies and other aquatic
plants.
 Gardening can be done outside of the home, in city parks, botanical
gardens, zoos, amusement parks, theme parks, and around tourist
attractions. These types of gardens are cared for by people
called gardeners or groundskeepers.

Mood enhancer
 Research has shown that
gardeners generally
have greater life
satisfaction, enhanced
self-esteem and fewer
feelings of depression
and fatigue than non-
gardeners.
 But more than this, the
act of gardening can
specifically improve
people’s moods.
 Other research suggests
that gardening can
increase life satisfaction,
and both reduce and
promote recovery from
stress. In fact, gardening
leads to greater
reductions in stress
following a stress test
than either reading
indoors or an indoor
exercise class.
Gardening makes a good
relationship with other
people

When you cultivate in your

garden, you cannot do
everything by yourself. In this
case, you will get help from
someone else at different times. It
may be from your neighbor
gardener. This creates a friendly
relationship between them. In this
way, another person becomes
an expert with a share of
experience. If there is a problem
in planting or cultivation in the
garden, due to good relations
between them, then they can be
solved together. And because of
such good relations, others will be
encouraged to see you and
prepare yourself for gardening.
gardening, particularly on
allotments, can involve social
interaction and becoming
part of a community.
Gardeners often share their
knowledge, skills and
experiences with each other
and by doing so develop
relationships and support
networks. People with strong
social networks have
an increased life expectancy,
greater resilience to stressful
life events and fewer visits to
the doctor.
3. Keep your city
environment free of
contamination

You know that oxygen is

available in nature through
the tree. The cities in which
less vegetation are polluted
with little reason and the
condition of public life
becomes worse. But if you
are a gardener and if many
people are interested in
gardening to see you, then
there will be no more
pollutants in your city.
4. Acquire the agronomics
knowledge

Deals with the distribution

and Management of soil
and crop production
Digging the soil is
beneficial for health and
changes in human mood

Sit down or drilling with this soil

reduces the risk of many diseases
in the next life of the child. For
example, the probability of
asthma decreases, there is no
chance of allergies. His studies
have shown that the bacteria
that do not harm humans are
usually found in the soil. Which
releases some part of the brain to
serotonin and increases
metabolism. As a result, the
human brain remains cold and
the cognitive function is in
control.
Generate natural food

To avoid adulterated food,

cultivate biological food in
your garden. Keep both body
and mind fresh through this
biological food. Moreover,
vitamin and nutrients in food
are more than other food
items. When eating biological
food, antioxidants are
produced in the body. That
will help fight with your body
disease and keep you
healthy.
Make regular body
exercises through
gardening

essential opportunities for
contact with nature, which
alone has numerous benefits
for our mental health.
Spending time outdoors in a
natural environment helps us to
feel less stressed, reduces
the symptoms of depression,
and enhances our
concentration and
attention by allowing us to
recover from mental fatigue.
Proverbs 12:24

 KJV
 The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under
tribute.
 ESV
 The hand of the diligent will rule, while the slothful will be put to forced
labor.
 NLT
 Work hard and become a leader; be lazy and become a slave.
Labor That Will Quicken the Mind,
Refine the Character
 In the cultivation of the soil the thoughtful worker will find
that treasures little dreamed of are opening up before
him. No one can succeed in agriculture or gardening
without attention to the laws involved. The special needs
of every variety of plant must be studied. Different
varieties require different soil and cultivation, and
compliance with the laws governing each is the
condition of success.
Cont.
 The attention required in transplanting, that not even a root fiber
shall be crowded or misplaced, the care of the young plants, the
pruning and watering, the shielding from frost at night and sun by
day, keeping out weeds, disease, and insect pests, the training and
arranging, not only teach important lessons concerning the
development of character, but the work itself is a means of
development. In cultivating carefulness, patience, attention to
detail, obedience to law, it imparts a most essential training. The
constant contact with the mystery of life and the loveliness of
nature, as well as the tenderness called forth in ministering to these
beautiful objects of God’s creation, tends to quicken the mind and
refine and elevate the character.
