Gardening provides pleasure and relaxation for people. It involves growing plants, either professionally or as a hobby. Gardening has its origins in Egypt over 4,000 years ago, where early gardening was largely for growing herbs and vegetables. There are different types of gardens, including flower gardens which feature trees, shrubs and exotic flowers, and vegetable gardens where organic produce can be grown naturally. Reasons for gardening include growing food and finding relaxation, as it stimulates both the mind and body.
