I love gardening, have hundreds of plants - ornaments, flowers, orchids, herbs, veggies and all in my front and backyard. It makes me relax to see them grow and blossom.
It inspires me every morning to wake up and smell the flowers and greeny veggies in my backyard that I can even cook for the family.

i love gardening too. i love to plants flowering and ornamental plants. i also plant vegetables and fruit-bearing trees in our garden. harvesting is a lot more fun because you see the fruit of your labor.

I help my mom take care of her garden in our backyard but not my hobby I guess but I love doing it.

I used to have a small garden back in the province since I love it but I am in the city now, working and don't have space here to pursue that hobby.

maybe someday when I retire early I will have to pursue this interest as I really love gardening, taking care of plants and admiring the beauty of the nature.

From a young age, I love to do a little gardening. Today, living in a city, there is not much room in my apartment for this activity. But, what ever little plants I could grow, I'd do so. I do not have green fingers like my late mother. She loves gardening and plants simply loved her. I can tell by the healthy plants around her home.

I am among friends! I love my garden too. I have flowers, lots of flowers, veggies, fruit trees, rasberries, blueberries, strawberries, asparagus and a 60 foot long rock wall that houses my rockery plants. I havent gotten into herbs yet but I may try a few next spring. I have the parsley and chives but I will experiment with some other easy ones I think. Any ideas at all I have an open mind.

I have fallen in love with flowers, trees, shrubs, you name it. I have books galore and have been studying and trying to landscape. But I have to wait until we finish some more outdoor projects with the house before I can get really serious with it, but it's hard b/c I want to establish flower beds. I have stuff planted everywhere. I especially like the ones that come back every year.

I understand your passion! We too have other things that need to come first but I want to start a flowerbed just for wedding flowers alone. I would like to grow enough to use in our wedding this summer. Why pay all that money to a florist when you can buy seed for little of nothing and make a great display yourself!

Our garden is my therapy. When I am working out in the garden I feel a peace of mind I can't get anywhere elce. When I see it growing and start to produce vegetables, it makes me proud to know that all my hard work paid off.

I loave having a vegetable garden and a flower garden. For the last 9 years we had had a veggie garden that is 125 ft by 100 ft. It is very time consuming. This year we will be cutting it in have. It just takes too much of my time. My husband and I both have full time jobs. But I also have 8 flower garden spots in my yard. I use large rock or drift wood in them. I have started buying more perinials than annuals. I also have a mum garden that is just outstanding in the Spring and Fall.

I love the outdoors and gardening. I grow veggies,fruits,herbs, flowers and plants. I used to have a farm and had many acres but have cut back to a small town lot now. I couldn't live anywhere without gardening. I have some flowers and trees sprouting right now in readiness for spring.

I know the feeling. Although I have a lot of houseplants, tender bulbs, cact and succulents so that you can enjoy that feeling indoors when the weather isn't so nice outside.

Gardening is the only thing I love about hot weather! I get a thrill when I see things actually growing, and when I pull the first radish or pick the first tomato, I'm in heaven.

I love gardening, but sadly, have done little of it since my 5 kids have grown and moved away. Love my flowers and herbs. Have been container gardening and finding it quite rewarding. We have a new deck that has containers on it that make it easier on me to keep up with weeding, which is minimal in containers. :) I find sage, basil and lavender are hardy and fragrant to grow.
