I would like to talk about my grandmother from my mother’s side who has been growing flowers and vegetables for as long as I can remember. She has a beautiful garden near her house where she grows tomatoes, cucumbers, herbs and dozens of flowers, different flowers. Many people have false notions that gardening is only suitable for elderly people or those who have a lot of time. However, after spending time with my grandmother, I completely changed my opinion that after spending that it requires a lot of time. Gardening has become a sense of purpose for her and it motivates her to get up early morning. Also growing plants requires a lot of patience, she always keeps pushing herself to especially during bad difficult weather conditions. I also think that gardening is in line with a healthy lifestyle because it encourages people to spend more time outdoors Embrace fresh air and eat fresh food. What I admire the most is that she has always been true to herself. She never followed trends or worried about what other people thought. Instead, she chose a hobby that genuinely makes her happy. Overall, I believe that gardening has made her healthier, calmer and more optimistic.
