Gardening is a good form of physical activity. You can grow food at home without chemicals that pollute the environment and could be bad for your health. Knowing where your food comes from gives you a greater sense of control. You can make your own fertile soil by composting. Making compost for your garden recycles your kitchen waste.
Children love to watch things grow.
Involving children in gardening helps them feel like they make a positive contribution to the family. Plastic containers, coffee cans, and milk cartons can be recycles to use as planting containers. A windowsill herb garden can add a lot of flavor to your cooking. You can meet many interesting people by being a part of a community garden. You can get to know your neighbors better by sharing garden tools, seeds, and knowledge.
