Today， many people complain that it is difficult to find a good hobby． Why don't you open up a garden in front of your house？ Having a garden means you need lots of space and free time． But there are many reasons why gardening is a good hobby to develop． One of them is that plants bring color to any room and keep the air nice and fresh．And，if you keep some flowering plants outside your windows，they may even attract cute bees and butterflies． In a word， it's good for places around us． Gardeners also feel very close to nature． This is quite important．
There are another two reasons for gardening as well．One is that it makes people more relaxed．Studies show that people who do gardening feel more peaceful in their lives．This is because gardening makes them feel less stressed． Another one is that it keeps you healthy． Gardening keeps you active and provides fresh food． Both of these are helpful for a healthy lifestyle．
