What I enjoy the most about gardening is watching plants evolve and grow over time, and how textures/colors/shapes/sizes of different plants play off of each other

What I love most about gardening is weeding : with the right tools it can be the most relaxing 'chore'. Weeding gives me time to think about what I'm going to plant next!

I like experiencing the joy of growing a plant from seed or seedling and seeing it reach its full potential when it blooms or produces something edible. It's almost like raising kids! (Only easier!)

One of my favorite things about gardening is walking out my back door to 'shop' for dinner.

What I enjoy most about gardening is weaving my plant friends into the fabric of my life. I don't need to hang a calendar up on the wall; my "calendar" is out in the yard. Snowdrops presage spring, hydrangeas herald summer, New England asters usher in autumn. When this grand parade ceases for another year, it's winter. Need I know more?

I learn something new every day.
I know that to everything there is a season, but I'm a gardener and I start counting the days until spring the day after Christmas. I LOVE to dig in the dirt ... dirt has an almost magical effect on me.I LOVE roses and get completely giddy when it is time for my historical roses to bloom in early June.

There is nothing more rewarding than growing fresh food at home, nurturing the plants in your landscape and spending time in the garden. Getting gardeners the right tools for the job helps make it fun and and exciting for us! Looking forward to growing with gardeners in the new year!

What I love most is the magic of germination... Even after sowing thousands of seeds, I'm still amazed that life could spring from such a tiny little shell! The sight of that first green sprout is my favorite part of the whole growing process.

Gardening is great because it gets me outdoors to enjoy the beauties of nature and to observe the changes of seasons. And it makes me exercise even when I don't want to because I know i have to bend down and pull weeds -- or else! :-) I love the abundance of flowers I can grow almost year-round and the opportunity to eat the freshest (and most pesticide-free) veggies available. And I especially appreciate being able to look ahead with hope and anticipation to what the coming months (and years) will bring to my landscape and garden.

Hi, my twitter name is flowercents and my blog is: http://flowercents.blogspot.com/
I love watching plants grow, and enjoying their beauty and fragrance.
I've been growing drought tolerant perennials and hardy succulents for a while now - and I never seem to grow tired of their incredible toughness and beauty. My gardens are a work in progress, and endlessly interesting. Hurray for xeriscaping!

What I love about gardening are the wtf? moments. Finding that my lamium 'Beacon Silver' has reverted to its white form. Shaking my head at the forsythia that blooms twice a year. Wondering where on earth that volunteer campanula came from or why I can grow lavender when none of my neighbors can. Marveling at the bizarre reproductive habits of my aquilegias, or the contentedness with which my nigella seeds itself into patches of full shade. Plants don't like to follow the rules in my garden, and it's made me into a misfit gardener. I do things I shouldn't, I commit dreadful sins of omission, and I still enjoy four seasons of beauty in my renegade garden.

@newdaygardens

I love the anticipation of seeing my daylily & iris seedlings open for the first time. Since I started hybridizing the garden gives me that "Christmas morning" feeling every day from May-August. It is awesome to look at a flower and know that nobody in the whole world has ever seen a bloom exactly like that one before- it's my own, my very special beauty, made just so that I can have that joy and I get to evaluate it & decide if it should be introduced to other gardeners.
@TheSoilToil

Gardening in containers gives so many chances to get it right. I love the mix of methodically planning out things from seeds and then picking up an unexpected $4.99 lavender plant at Trader Joe's.
I tell friends who want to start but haven't, "Buy a few seedlings at the farmer's market or local hardware store/garden center, ask the person who sold it to you what to do with it and go for it. Worst case, you toss what died and plant something else."
@notillgarden
http://www.thenotillgarden.com/
I love going out to the garden in the morning, a cup of coffee in my hand, to see what's new, what's grown, what can be harvested. Each day brings a new delight, a new challenge and a new satisfaction. Watching something grow from seed into something that sustains your family is so satisfying.
And, I love promoting and teaching others about the joys of a no-till, lasagna garden. It provides an opportunity to garden for those who otherwise might not have the soil or the space to garden traditionally. Bumper crops in a small space with little effort is a pretty attractive scenario for both seasoned gardeners like myself -- and those that want to start.

3. Gardening to me is learning about systems - soil biology, entomology, habitats (pollinators), native and adapted plants. I love researching and building a garden system that is sustainable. I am also a huge fan of urban (and suburban) gardening and homesteading. I use my background in both art and environmental education to design edible landscapes that have neighbors marveling at the beauty of eggplant foliage and strawberry groundcovers ;)

3. The thing I love most about gardening is that it's real, it's fundamental, and it's vital. I do mostly edible gardening, and growing my own food is one of the greatest joys I can imagine - knowing where it came from, how it was grown, and that it hasn't traveled more than 30 feet to my dinner table is priceless.

3: My children are the part of gardening I enjoy the most. Watching them be a part of the process, learning so much about life and food, and sharing their joy in the results is pure contentment for me. (But ask me again later when they've pulled all the cute little squash and tomatoes off again).

3 - What's not to like? I love the peace I get working with the soil. From digging & planting in the Spring to tending the growing plants in summer, harvesting flowers and vegetables in autumn, to putting the garden to bed for winter. I love the smell of the dirt, of my herbs, of narcissus & roses & lavender. I love to see the beauty of vibrant growiung plants & the splashes of color of flowers & foliage. I love the taste of a warm strawberry or cherry tomato right from the plant. I love the feel of the sun & breeze as I work in my garden & the sound of the birds & the bees and the wind chimes in that breeze. The garden pleases all of my senses.

3: What I love about gardening is the perfect give-and-take relationship it exemplifies. But no matter how much you give, the garden gives you more. It challenges your patience, your creativity and your body, while simultaneously connecting you to the world-of-nature at large. And that, I believe, is fundamental to a strong well-being. There's no doubt, I owe my good-natured disposition to gardening.

3. I don't think there's anything I don't love about gardening, even the heartbreaks that can come with it don't deter me from sticking with it, but to narrow it down I would say that it's the incredible healing powers of my hands in the soil and the beauty of the blooms that bring me so much pure joy - that's what I love most about gardening in addition to sharing my garden in the virtual world with all of you!

In the world of gardening planting has to be my first love (hence my @plantmad avatar). However, as a garden designer I regularly advise clients which I am good at given that I have over 15 years experience at doing so.
People with a passion for gardens, plants, nature etc tend to be very interested to learn and change their habits if need be. Since 2004 I have been teaching horticulture which is my new love to be honest as there is nothing as exciting as watching people grow (apart from plants that is!) <3

3. What I personally love about gardening is the adventure of knowing there is always something new to learn. No growing season is ever the same! I also love that it is a powerful way to connect with my family and myself. The online world can be great, but there's nothing quite like unplugging and digging your hands into the dirt out amongst nature.
We also all love that we can grow all year long--keeping plants inside during the dreary winter certainly means a lot to us!

I love most things about gardening except for some of the bugs...not all, but most. My favorite thing is how you go out to just look around and before you know it two hours have gone by and you are in need of a change of clothes. Best way to sort things out and clear your mind of worry.
