Why Do We Garden?
There's no better feeling than getting outside in the sun and soil, whether we re working in large landscapes or in a few containers on a front porch. We're rewarded each day with beautiful trees, shrubs and flowers in our landscapes and abundant fruits and vegetables from our gardens. If you've never gardened before and you're wondering what all the fuss is about,you should stop hesitating about it and give it a try. Gardening is one of the most rewarding hobbies you can take up, with long-lasting positive effects on yourself, your community, and the world at large.
Gardening is a great form of exercise for your physical health. General gardening is a low to medium impact form of exercise that requires a certain amount of strength and stretching to perform. This amount of strength and stretching works all of the major muscle
groups. One benefit of this workout is that it may decrease the shortage of calcium in the bone later in life. Because of its low impact nature, gardening makes for an excellent activity for those who are older, have disabilities or suffer from chronic pain.
The love of gardening and beautification can be a real boon for local communities.Residents who live in areas with natural landscapes know their neighbors better, spend more time outdoors, and generally live in a safer environment. Beautifying roads can have the dual effect of providing pleasing roadside landscapes while at the same time providing natural ways to make the roads somewhat safer for surrounding communities. A growing phenomenon across the country that backs up gardening and the sense of community is the rising
popularity of community gardens. Whether it's someone with an extra plot of land to share with their neighbors or a group of row houses getting together on a vacant lot to share in the harvest of happy gardening, community gardens bring neighbors and families together through hard work and a shared bounty.
Besides all of the benefits that gardening provides to ourselves and our local communities,gardening offers an even greater benefit to the world around us. We live in a reciprocal relationship with our plants. Plants can use sunshine to produce food from both the carbon dioxide we breathe out and the water they take in through their roots. In turn, these plants send out oxygen which allows us to breathe and prevent polluted water from reaching into streams and lakes. What's more, the plants we grow help to provide both food and shelter to wildlife, allowing for a diverse natural habitat.

【正确答案】：The above are just some of the reasons why we garden. Even if we don't have a lot of yard space to get a small garden together, we can still enjoy the benefits of becoming a gardener. Even a few houseplants in our living spaces or some containers of flowers or vegetables on a balcony or front porch can help us gain the benefits of this tremendous way of life. Through gardening, we'll strive for improved health, a better life, and a greater world.We hope these will inspire you to get started as well.
