What is Gardening?

Gardening is the practice of growing and cultivating plants as part of horticulture. In gardens, ornamental plants are often grown for their flowers, foliage, or overall appearance; useful plants, such as root vegetables, leaf vegetables, fruits, and herbs, are grown for consumption, for use as dyes, or for medicinal or cosmetic use.

Gardening is considered by many people to be a relaxing activity. It involves an inherent degree of physical activity, including planting, weeding, watering, and harvesting, which contribute to a healthy lifestyle.
