The Best Things About Gardening

While barbecuing is one of the more social outdoor activities, gardening is often the opposite. Many people tend to their greenery in solitude which has a calming even meditative effect.

There seem to be many good reasons to do some garden work. According to our Statista survey, being outside in the fresh air is one of the most important (74 percent). Watching something grow and thrive is the next most satisfying reason to get gardening (58 percent). A mere 7 percent claim they only garden when it’s absolutely necessary, which says it all!
