Fresh produce is always a desired commodity for people throughout the year and growing your own can be extremely rewarding. John Zvirovski / The Sun
Gardening is one of the oldest hobbies known to man. Not only was it created to sustain people with a fresh source of food, but also because it calms the soul and allows one to convene with the earth once again. By being in touch with nature, one feels that he or she is a little more in touch with himself or herself, which can create a sense of purpose and meaning.
Frankly, I enjoy gardening for a variety of reasons. Not only can I grow my own food and try new and exciting things, I can also grow flowers from annuals and perennials to create my own little paradise in which I can retreat. Alone time is always a welcome event when I get the chance, but time with friends in the same setting creates lasting memories that just can’t be created anywhere else.
