Gardening is something that people do for a multitude of reasons. Growing and eating their veggies brings happiness to some, while stress relief motivates others. Some people find gardening a good source of exercise and that it also helps them manage their stress levels. A 2021 survey by Axiom found that people did gardening to add beauty to their lives. In the same study, growing flowers is America's most popular gardening activity.
Gardening is a popular activity not only in the United States but all over the world. But how did this wildly popular hobby start? Let's take a journey through the history of gardening.
Historically, gardening was mostly done for practical and spiritual reasons. People used to grow herbs or vegetables to eat. Planting sycamores and date palms to please their gods was common practice among ancient Egyptians.
In the 16th century, a sense of exuberance in gardening began in Europe. However, it was mostly the upper class who could afford elaborate gardens. Around the 17th century, hedge mazes became popular. One of the oldest surviving hedge mazes is the Hampton Court Palace maze in the United Kingdom, known for its confusing twists and dead ends.
