I love gardening, but am in an apartment at the moment so don't get to do any. When I had a house I grew flowers, vegetables and herbs.
Oh, that's too bad. When you did do gardening, did you find it relaxing? I've heard it's considered a relaxing activity by many people. 
I found it very relaxing. There's something very special about planting something, tending it, and watching it grow. There must be so many different types of gardening, mind you.
Yes, there are. Gardening ranges from fruit orchards, to long boulevard plantings with one or more different types of shrubs, trees, and herbaceous plants. Even plants in large or small containers grown inside or outside.
