People divide hobbies into four big groups: doing things, making things, collecting things, and
learning things. Gardening belongs to the most popular group - doing things.
Gardening is one of the oldest outdoor activities. Gardening teaches children about flowers,
fruits, and vegetables. They can also learn about insects and bugs. When gardening, children learn to
be patient and take on responsibility. They learn to wait for the plants to grow to maturity. And if they
don't water their plants, their plants will die. This teaches them valuable lessons about responsibility.
Gardening is also good because everyone in the family can join in and do something together.
