A spot of gardening will lift your spirits, a study suggests. More than 90 percent of gardeners think it improves their mood, according to a survey of Gardeners World magazine. It also found that gardeners are less likely to show signs associated with unhappiness or upset. A study of 1500 adults in the UK found that 80 percent of gardeners feel satisfied with their lives compared with 67 percent of non-gardeners. Gardeners world editor Lucy Hall said, “We have long suspected it but our research means we can definitely say gardening makes you happy.”The most popular hobby in the UK is computing or gaming, with 52 percent of people referred to in the study naming it as their favorite way of passing time. But gardening comes second, along with walking or hiking, on 43 percent. And overall, outdoor lovers appear to bring the most happiness- 78 percent of walkers are satisfied with their lives, according to the survey. Keeping busy with any activity, though, is important- of those with no hobbies, only 55 percent are satisfied with their lives.Professor, Jules Pretty at the University of Essex said, “Scientific research on a number of universities, including the University of Essex, now clearly shows that approaching green places is good for personal health.” We also know that short-term mental health improvements are protective of long-term health benefits.We thus conclude that there will be large potential benefit to individuals, society and to the costs of the health service if people are able to do more green exercise. Gardening falls into this category- it is good for both mental and physical health.66.
