Having a garden means you need lots of space and free time. But there are many reasons why gardening (園藝) is a good hobby to develop. One of them is,plants bring color to any room and keep the air nice and good. And,if you keep some flowering plants outside your windows,they may even attract lovely 
bees,butterflies. In a word,it's good for places around us. Gardeners also feel very close to nature. This is important,especially with all of the environmental problems we are trying to do with these days.
There are another two reasons for gardening as well. One is that it makes people more relaxed. Studies show that people who do gardening feel calmer in their lives. This is because gardening makes them feel less stressed. Another one is that it keeps you healthy. Gardening keeps you active and provides fresh food. Both of these are helpful for a healthy lifestyle.
If you are looking for a hobby,give gardening a try. You will find the fun of getting your hands dirty and the pleasure that comes with growing something.
Moreover (而且) ，nothing tastes better than vegetables you grow in your own garden.
