Gardening is such a pleasure for me. I love flowers and plants and getting my hands dirty. There is something so therapeutic about it. If I lived in an apartment, there would doubtless be plants on the balcony and along side any windows. Gardening is a source of fitness, with all that digging, lifting and bending and takes me away from the kitchen and the temptation of snacking. But best of all it is an aesthetic exercise, blending colours and textures and visualizing how something will look sometimes months in advance. It is calming and meditative and so many life-affirming things all at the same time.
