What’s  Behind  Gardening

I  don’t  know  what  it  is  about  a  garden  that's  always  drawn  human beings  to  them.  However  they’ve  always  been  really  popular,  and  an integral  part  of  individuals’  lifestyles.  A  lot  of  religions  feature gardens  as  the  settings  for  some  of  the  greatest  events.  According  to Christianity,  humanity  was  originated  in  a  garden.  The  Buddhist build  gardens  to  let  nature  permeate  their  surroundings.    However, what’s  so  great  about  them?  They’re  simply  a  bunch  of  plants,  after all. 

Naturally,  the  reasoning  is  reasonably  obvious  behind  why individuals  grow  food  in  gardens,  especially  those  who  want  to  go organic.  It’s  to  eat!  If  you  live  off  the  fat  of  the  land  and  really  survive on  stuff  from  your  garden,  it’s  simple  to  comprehend  the  reasoning. However,  I’m  thinking  of  those  individuals  who  plant  flower  gardens simply  for  the  sake  of  looking  cool.  There’s  no  quick  benefit  that  I  can see;  you  simply  have  a  clump  of  flowers  in  your  yard!  But,  after thinking  extensively  about  the  motive  behind  planting  ornamental gardens,  I’ve conceived several  potential  theories. 

I  believe  one  of  the  reasons  individuals  love  gardens  so  much  is  that while  we  have  an  innate  desire  to  progress  and  industrialize,  deep inside  all  of  us  is  a  fundamental  love  for  nature.  While  this  desire  may not  be  as  strong  as  the  desire  for  modernism,  it's  still  strong  enough to  command  us  to  produce  gardens,  especially  organic  ones,  small outlets  of  nature,  in  the  midst  of  all  our  hustle  and  bustle.  Since  being in  nature  is  like  falling  back  to  an  earlier  stage  of  humanity,  we  too may  regress  to  a  time  of  solace  and  utter  happiness.  This  is  why gardens  are  so  restful  and  calming  to  be  in.  This  is  why  gardens  are  a great  place  to  meditate.  A  garden  is  a  way  to  promptly  escape  from the  busy  world. 

I’ve  thought  at  times  that  maybe  we  as  humans  feel  a  kind  of  guilt driving  us  to  fix  nature  and  care  for  it.  This  guilt  might  stem  from  the knowledge  that  we,  not  personally  however  as  a  race,  have demolished  so  much  of  nature  to  get  where  we  are  now.  It’s  the  least we  may  do  to  build  a  little  garden  in  remembrance  of  all  the  trees  we kill  each  day.  It’s  my  theory  that  this  is  the  fundamental  reason  for most individuals  to take  up  gardening as  a  hobby. 

Organic  gardening  is  decidedly  a  healthy  habit  though,  don’t  get  me wrong.  Any  hobby  that  supplies  exercise,  helps  the  environment,  and improves  your  diet  can’t  be  a  bad  thing.  So  regardless  what  the underlying  psychological  cause  for  gardening  is,  I  believe  that everybody ought  to continue to  do so.
