If you are flipping through this book, you already enjoy being around plants, so we don’t need to convince you of that. In addition to gardening being a great hobby, there are numerous health benefits to it. Gardening outside is great exercise because there’s a lot of walking, squatting, stretching, lifting, and bending involved.

Working outdoors connects us with nature, which has been shown to work wonders for children having a hard time focusing.
