Is Gardening a Hobby?
Summary:
Despite the hard work it involves, gardening offers a sense of reward and well-being that’s incomparable. While it may not be entirely relaxing, it certainly keeps you physically active. But is serious gardening actually a hobby?Article:
Gardening, though demanding, offers a unique sense of satisfaction and well-being. Even if it’s not fully relaxing, it's undeniably rewarding. Plus, if you're not fit before diving into gardening, you likely will be through maintaining it. But is serious gardening a hobby? I’m not so sure.In my 40s, we moved from California, leaving behind a low-maintenance backyard, to a rural community in Oregon. Our new home was an old farmhouse on over an acre of land, plagued by weeds and overgrown shrubs, planted haphazardly.
Initially, we focused on remodeling the house's interior, merely mowing the weeds outside. Eventually, we had to turn our attention to the grounds. The task seemed daunting.
By the end of that summer, we’d created a courtyard outside the kitchen: a private area with a waterfall, herb garden, and a cozy seating spot shaded by a grand oak tree.
In addition, we erected a fence, planted flowering shrubs and hedges, seeded a new lawn, and filled our space with flowers. We expanded our gardens to include an entry garden, a shade garden, a sunlit flower garden, and eventually, a raised vegetable garden.
Amidst this flourishing environment, reality hit. Gardening was a lot of work! We had to dig and enrich rock-hard clay soil, plant, water, and weed. Deadheading became a regular half-day job.
My husband, balancing a job and countless property tasks, left me to tend to the gardens alone. Weeding consumed at least three days a week. A friend introduced me to Round-Up, for which I was immensely grateful, but caution with herbicides, especially near vegetables, is crucial.
Surveys show that 8 out of 10 people list gardening as a hobby. After my experience, I view gardening not just as a hobby, but as a full-time commitment.
