Benefits of gardening || 15-07-23
One of what sustains humans in life is Gardening, and without this we would have been having lack of food to eat, some good health and healthy living. Gardening is not only for hobby but also satisfies our daily needs like food and encourages a sustainable lifestyle.
Some benefits of gardening is the ability to cultivate crops and grow foods for personal use. Cause in the world where we live now, most of the foods we eat are grown so we need to try and cultivate them by ourselves in our little garden at our backyard or surrounding garden.
Some of these foods that are grown can be in the varieties of fruits like orange, pawpaw, grapes, pineapple, garden egg, etc. Or some might be big crops like cassava, yam, vegetables depending on the type of gardening you wish to do. In doing this, we don't only save money but also maintain a healthy life and promote a healthy and balanced diet.
Gardening also makes on resilience, one will be dependent and improve in crop planting skills, harvesting, and nurturing crops till they become matured to consume. Gardening provides empowerment for some youths and old people. Gardening can as well serve as medicinal purpose, as some plants can be gotten from our nearby garden and also used for herbs. Like one of the plant that is called "HOSPITAL IS TOO FAR", this is one of the medicinal plants that are planted in some gardens of people which has a very important use.
Furthermore, gardening encourages a more easier life whereby, when we grow our own food around us it reduces transportation charge, and packaging. Instead of going to the market to buy some fruits or vegetables we need, we just get it from our backyard in our garden thereby reducing transportation cost and stress. Asides the contribution to our daily needs of food, gardening also contributes to a healthy ecosystem.
Gardening beautifies and environment, it might not also serve as a source for our foods but can be used to cultivate beautiful flowers and serve as ornaments in the environment. Some people do make gardens for ornamental purposes to add more beauty and attraction to the environment. They are established for nature purposes, photography and even for education purpose, where students can learn from there different plant types and flowers. Students can get some plants from a garden to create a plant album as some schools gives that as an assignment to students.
In conclusion, by promoting gardening as it benefits our daily needs we can maintain a healthy living life and and connect to a beautiful nature. Let us embrace gardening as one of our roles in life and see the positive impact and progress in our lives and community as a whole.

I know that gardening is important, but gosh some of us are born with green fingers and others are born without them.
Well, I am one of those who don't have green fingers.
Everything I try to plant dies.
Luckily, where we live now, the vegetation is so great that everything is growing everywhere.
Keep on writing!
Lol 😆 sometimes why your crops dies might be because of the planting season or other plants fighting for space. But thank God your crops are growing now
Yah but now I am fighting the monkeys. They eat all the avos and paw-paws.
We cannot win against nature (•ิ‿•ิ)
