I'm Kripa and though I could give you a thousand reasons for why I would like to chose gardening as a hobby, let’s begin with the basics. Most people need some kind of hobby that makes them attain a peace of mind and what could be better than snuggling with nature in our free time. For me, it’s like a hangout heaven in my chaotic life. Here’s just some of the reasons why I like gardening!
Imagine watching a tiny seed sprout turning into a vibrant flower or a small seedling transforming into a beautiful vegetable plant. Gardening is a journey filled with wonder and discovery. The sense of accomplishment and purpose I feel when I witness my plants thrive is truly rewarding.
Personally, I feel a lot of positive emotions, feelings and experiences at once like calmness, realization of self-worth, happiness, sense of achievement etc. And spiritually I get connected with nature and its soul along the journey. Plants are an embodiment of life force that helps in cleansing the aura. The connection is like a natural source of calmness and positivity to me.
Growing Confidence Alongside the Garden:
I'm still a beginner only with a small interest or as a distraction from overwhelming social media and later will blossomed into a beautiful garden of my own. It will surely become a bliss in my life. At the beginning of my journey, my fellow friends who’ve been gardening for a while then suggested to me this tip to “go small if you are gardening for the first time.” Well, I didn’t quite understand it at first, however later I realized, it is good to start with small plants and pots, so as to understand the process and maintenance.
Life Lessons from My Garden:
There are a lot of life skills I learn from gardening. It requires patience, dedication, and the ability to follow instructions. Nurturing is a form of art that doesn't come naturally to everyone. There’s a technique. For example, watering the plants every day, knowing the way to water, knowledge of soils and fertilizers etc. All these things need patience, research and commitment which are also a part of real life and the skills also help to focus and manage in life.
Reduce Stress, Boost Wellbeing:
Planting small plants in a garden, is that what gardening is all about? Well, technically yes, but the magic comes along with the journey. A journey of watching my small bud blossom into a beautiful flower or watching a seed grow into a little plant. I felt a bunch of positive emotions from that small pot sitting on my balcony. My first experience of planting was with a Tulsi plant or Holy Basil. All my frustration, tension and mood swings vanished by spending time digging for the small plant.
A Path to a Fuller Life
It’s more than just a hobby; it’s a pathway to the best tasting food, better health, and a deeper connection to nature and community.
