Gardening is America's pastime
It's time to begin thinking about
gardening. In fact, some have already
planted seeds indoors to be transplanted
outside a little later. According to
Steve Rodie, University of Nebraska
Horticulturist, instinctively, humans
are connected to nature. It doesn't mat-
ter where they live or how much money
they earn, many enjoy working out-
doors in the garden.
Gardens people enjoy are often a
place of refuge where they can get
away from the stresses of the world. In
this hectic society, personal restora-
tion and stress reduction have become
increasingly important for healthy
lives, healthy relationships and overall
wandering as people enjoy the design
of the garden.
Research also shows gardening and
being in the garden helps hospital pa-
tients hefil faster; relieves road rage in
commuters and reduces violence and
conflict in the home. Enhanced per-
sonal and family quality-of-life is some-
thing that we all strive for.
If you want to learn more about
gardening, you may want to attend the
Spring Affair State Fair Park, Lincoln.
A Preview Party is Friday, April 19
from 6 to 9 p.m. and an all-day event
is Saturday, April 20 from 9 a.m. to 4
p.m.

better quality-of-life.
The American Nursery and Land-
scape Association reports there is a
tendency to cocoon-- retreat from life' s
daily pressures by staying home. This
is one reason many people are looking
through garden catalogs and making
plans for gardens in their backyards or
close to home.
Research has identified critical ar-
eas where gardening can help with
personal restoration. When people are
focused and immersed in caring for the
garden, they will build psychological
energy as they enjoy the colors and
textures of the plants. Working in the
garden will re-energize and Ielieve
stress just by being away frdm the
workplace or source of daily stress.
Even the smallest of gardens will
allow-for contemplation and mental
