Plants have always been part of human life. To see them grow and thrive under your own loving care - whether on the windowsill or in your own garden - is perceived by many as fulfilling. Our health also benefits from the proximity to plants: their mere presence has a stress-reducing and antihypertensive effect.

But from time to time you should get your hands dirty. Who regularly plants, pampers, or digs, is demonstrably more creative and even feels happier.
