Is gardening beneficial for your health?

of course, fresh gardening is the best, if you can get the bugs out without chemical is the best, my mom plants tons of veggie in the back of the house, so each year we got fresh veggies it is awesome

I would say that it's certainly beneficial to my health. I can't get out very much to exercise due to health problems so the only little bit of exercise I get is when I go out into the garden. I love planting new seeds and shrubs and watching them grow and I can sit and relax in the sun whenever I feel tired. I think it is the best place to get exercise, particularly as we get older.

I think so even if we do get tired it is a good tired and you can set back later to watch it grow and see what you have greated

Gardening is beneficial for our health.
Gardeners, whether old or young, with special needs should take special precautions in caring for themselves while Gardening. It's easy to lose track of time while working with plants. If the weather is very hot, Garden in the morning or evening hours when the sun is not so direct. If you are out during the day, wear a hat, sunglasses, long-sleeved shirt and long pants. Use sun screen. Limit your time in the sun, take frequent breaks and drink plenty of liquids.

There are many devices that make Gardening easier for any green thumb. There are rolling carts that carry tools and work as a seat. Bending and pulling weeds from a standing position for a long time will guarantee sore muscles and pain for days. Go slow and pace yourself. Do some warm-up stretches before you start and cool-down stretches after you finish.

My gardening is certainly beneficial to my health. I grow fruit and vegetables.
It is as good as a workout at the gym to be digging over a bed ready to plant.
I prefer an excercise to have a reason rather than just for its own sake,it makes me more likely to do it.
Gardening is very peaceful too and there is time to think through the goings on of the day.

I love working out in my yard and garden. I'm tired and sore after a full day of yardwork but to me, it's a good feeling. Tells me that I will sleep real good that night. A full day of gardening is wonderful for your health overall. Your working all of the major muscle groups without leaving home. Besides, the fresh air does everybody a world of good.

I've heard that it can be good for you. It can be both relaxing and stimulating mentally, and of course you have the satisfaction of seeing something that you planted andcared for grow up and produce flowers or vegetables.

I think gardening is beneficial to me because it reduces my stress, clears my mind, and a job gets done. Reaching, stretching, bending all promote to fitness. I've always considered it a workout. Do tell, what is a "secret garden"?

I would say it is. It's great exercise and very rewarding. I love getting my hands dirty in the garden. It's a good way to de-stress, keep your mind off things that are bothering you. Sometimes being in the garden helps me think. I like to listen to the birds as I am weeding.

Wow Polachicago,
compliments for your garden full of plants, vegetables and fruits.... Unfortunately I have only a little garden with a few plants.... I'd like gardening, it must be a great satisfaction to you when you harvest the fruits of your labour. I know it is very hard, and I can image how you can be tired after an hard day of work, but I'd like so much to have a little piece of earth to garden....
So.... gardening is beneficial for health and.... taste...
