Gardening is the most popular hobby in the United States today.
Gardening is the most common use of leisure time. Anyone who wants to garden should be able to do so, regardless of their physical or mental condition. Holistic means relating to or concerned with wholes or with complete systems rather than with the analysis of, treatment of, or dissection into parts. The holistic garden is a garden in which all interacting systems are taken into account - the garden, the gardener and the natural ecosystem of which they are a part. The holistic garden is also designed to enable the gardener to interact with nature and to enable the gardener to cooperate with nature in the gardening process and minimize the damage to the environment that is often caused by the gardening process.
