About National Gardening Exercise Day
Whether it's weeding, planting, pruning or simply watering, getting outside and tending to your garden is a great exercise for all ages.
According to the American Horticultural Therapy Association, gardening is an ideal form of exercise because it combines three types of fitness: Strength, endurance, and flexibility. Bending and stretching to pull weeds or reaching up high provides flexibility.
