My hobby is gardening. The joy of witnessing blooming flowers and leaves fills my heart with a sense of achievement and realizing the fact that the work of my own hands is bearig fruit definitely gives me pleasure.

Gardening also helps to keep me fit, strong and healthy for working away in my garden results in the beneficial kind of exercise that is good for both mind and body. I inherited the love for gardening from my mother and now with her help and interest, I have prepared a small garden in front of our porch.

I grow several varieties of plants including rose, hibiscus, ferns and lily in my garden. Everyday after school, it is my habit to check on my garden and look after the plants. The garden has to be kept under a strict check, mowed punctually as the grass grows at a speedy rate during the rainy season and I have to cleaned at least twice a week. A little bouquet of pretty flowers also makes a wonderful gift for birthdays and anniversaries.

I am also thinking of including vegetables in my garden so that it will save us the purchase of vegetables from the market and we may also sell them to other people at reasonable price. It is possible to grow the vegetables that are consumed daily and do not take up much space.

It is always a great feeling to have my garden admired and appreciated by other people and it helps me feel like I have accomplished a great goal.
