Quotes to ponder:
"Gardening might just be the world’s best-kept exercise secret. It’s like going to the gym for free while beautifying your yard and growing delicious and healthy things to eat."
"As a pleasurable and goal-oriented outdoor activity, gardening has another advantage over other forms of exercise: people are more likely to stick with it and do it often."
"The group that gardened won hands-down as they reported being in a better mood than the group that read and they also exhibited lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol."
