What you grow, be it fruits, vegetables or flowers, when they grow and bloom, acts as a sign of success. You feel great when you see a seed transforming into a full-fledged plant and bear fruits of labour!
Gardening is aromatically and aesthetically pleasing: Human eyes are programmed to appreciate anything beautiful and feel joyous at the same time. Even the aromas associated with certain plants and flowers are calming. People often grow lavender as its soft fragrance is bound to calm your senses.
Gardening instils confidence; hence, it makes you feel better: When you start off with a gardening project, you tend to gradually up the game when you see your efforts paying off. It gives you control and a greater sense of accompaniment when you choose what to grown and how to manage your garden, be it a kitchen garden or a lavish landscape!

Gardening brings nature to your doorstep, and offers you a chance to embrace nature, lose yourself in the beauty and become happy! The simple joys of dirtying your hands can be emotionally rewarding.
Gardening can promote family bonding and may improve the family happiness quotient: When you involve your spouse or children in a gardening activity, it offers an excellent bonding opportunity for all.
