"Gardening provides bodily exercise that tends to increase deep and regular breathing, reduce muscular tension, lower the blood pressure, open the pathways of energy in the body, provide needed sunshine and outdoor air, and calm the nerves. People often speak of "feeling better" when they garden. Gardening gets us away from the workplace, computer screens, books, television, and other people. In a quiet corner of the garden we can bury the worries of the day."

From the page: "Gardening satisfies many basic human needs. A garden offers protection for the home, a safe place for leisure time activities, and a haven for the mystically inclined. Gardening allows for personal participation, hands on involvement, and intimate earthly connections. Gardens provide a laboratory for learning about Nature, a homeground for the practice of the arts and sciences, and a sure method for understanding more about our world. Gardening satisfies our thirst for artistic and personal creativity, and allows us to unfold some of the mysterious layers of creation itself. We are free to create our gardens to reflect our own tastes and desires, free to explore the magnificent palette of colors and smells that a garden can offer, and freed from some of the cares and worries than bind our lives. Gardening can point to our true selves, help us grow a new identity, form our characters, and reflect our unique personalities. Our gardens shown our concern and love, provide a common ground for conversations and friendships with others, pat us on the back for a job well done, and are a enduring source for our affections towards Mother Nature. Gardening helps us relax, unwind, smile, and enjoy our moments of leisure in our busy lives. And for the gardener, in the end, as we open a husk of corn, or crack a walnut, or peel a potato, or slice a tomato ... we can satisfy the hunger and thirst that are our calling to Life. "

Gardening and Spirituality Gardening puts us in direct contact with what we eat and with nature. I always thought that it should thus be taught to all in school but the logic of capital finds it more interesting that we all buy our vegetables... in gardendigest.com """ Gardening satisfies many basic human needs.
