Indoor and outdoor gardening has become more and more popular. It helps us build a stronger connection (连接) with nature and makes us feel more relaxed.
Gardening is reported to be good for the environment and wildlife. Gardens offer a home to wildlife. They also act as passages for nature, allowing wildlife to move from one place to the next. ________ One study found that gardening for 30 minutes can be compared with playing badminton, volleyball or practicing yoga.
Gardening can improve your mood in lots of ways. If you feel nervous or worried, looking after plants can help to keep your mind on something else. Watching a seed (种子) grow into a healthy plant can make you feel happy and satisfied. According to a study, people who garden 2-3 times a week have a 6.6% higher happiness score and 4.2% lower stress level compared to people who don’t garden at all.
Gardening is a great way to connect with nature and people. When you are new to a place, you can get to know your neighbors by sharing fruit or vegetables you grow with them. And it is an easy way to start conversations and show how friendly you are. You could also find friends with the same hobby in the gardening club. If there’s no club, start your own gardening club and invite your friends to join you.
