To be really happy and really safe, one ought to have at least two or three hobbies, and they must all be real.

Winston Churchill

Every person loves to do something during his pass time to relax one’s mind as well as the soul. There are some things in life which you do which give you immense joy and satisfaction. Such a thing integral to one’s happiness is what we call a hobby. it plays a very important role in our lives. it occupies our minds when we are free and also makes us happy. Hobbies are our escape from the real world that makes us forget our worries and inspire us. They make life interesting and pleasant. They give us energy and teach us the dignity of labor.

                                                 No man is happy or safe without a hobby.

William Osler

In today’s fast and competitive world, we often get no time for ourselves. Everyone should have hobbies for everyday life. Hobby increases the pleasure of our mind, soul, and body. It increases our creativity and develops our minds.

All hobbies are useful in one way or the other. But the one I like most is gardening. I have recently developed a taste for it. It is both pleasant and economical. it gets rid of loneliness and prevents psychological problems. I just remember that when I was three years old kid I used to like spending my free time in the garden. I like so much to be in my green garden with my father every morning.

A garden is a planned plot of land adjoining a house that is used for cultivating new plants, flowers, and fruits in trees and other forms of nature. The garden consists of both natural and man-made materials. Many people pursue gardening as a hobby as this allows them to refresh their minds and be amidst natural beauty like trees, birds,

When I was so small, my parents often laughed at me when I used to pour water on the plants. But now they are so happy and proud to see me in the same garden. I do now everything so perfectly and understand the value of saving plants' life. I also understand the importance of trees how they save our lives. It’s a great way to relieve stress, set goals for yourself, and nurture something. On top of all that, growing your produce is a great way to become more sustainable at home and to reduce your environmental impact. 

Gardening is the purest of human pleasures. -Francis Bacon

I have always had a love for nature and have admired flowers and plants. Gardening gives us a lot of exercise. It teaches us to work with our own hands. It brings us into close contact with nature. It is a pleasure to dig the earth to make flower beds and dig canals for water. All this is very interesting. This kind of physical exercise is delightful and enjoyable.

I water the plants and soften the ground near their roots. Then I also cut away the extra, useless branches of the trees or plants. All this keeps me physically active and smart. Birds, bugs, and bees — especially honey bees — are essential to the lifecycle of the world at large. Bees are one of the most important pollinators in this group but they aren’t the only ones. Your backyard garden is bound to have its native pollinators and your garden is a great way to coax them back into your life.

Hobby means doing something for the fun of it, not necessarily to make a living.                                                                         Theresa A.

Gardening teaches us the wonders of plant life. It is a source of great pleasure to watch the seeds sprout into plants with tiny and tender leaves. We also learned of the diseases of plants and their remedies. We can’t know and understand all this by reading books only. In gardening, we read the very book of nature.

Earth laughs in flowers. –R. W. Emerson

I have different kinds of roses in my garden. In the winter and spring, the rose flowers in red, yellow, golden, white, and other colors are simply delightful. The roots of these plants stabilize the soil and filter water. Municipal gardens and national parks become safe havens for all manner of wild creatures that might have been otherwise displaced by the endless urban sprawl of the modern world. 

Everyone should have one or the other hobby. generally, we do not have any hobbies. They waste their leisure time in idle gossip. This is bad. They should try to have some hobbies. In this matter, they must not be guided by others but should select a hobby which suits their tastes and the circumstances of their lives. Pleasure is the chief end of a hobby, and so the best hobby is one that delights and recreates. We should plant flowers and trees and develop gardens for our future generations.

A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in.
