Americans enjoy many activities． When they are at home they enjoy reading，watching television，creating art objects，playing computer games and so on．The most popular activity， however，is done outside．For the past 15 years，gardening has been the most popular outdoor activity in America．A new study was done by Organic Gardening Magazine．It says more than 78 million Americans are gardeners．This is more than 40 percent of the alt（成年的）population．
The new study says that ring the growing season：an average gardener spends 3or 4hours a week working in the garden digging，cutting，and planting and watering．They also spend money on their gardens ．Each year American gardeners spend about 25 billion dollars buying seeds，plants，bushes and trees，and plant food to make their plants grow bigger．They also buy tools and even special clothes for working in the garden．
Why are more and more Americans becoming fond of gardening？Most people do it for fun．Gardening makes their home more beautiful and makes them feel closer to nature．Gardening is also a good way to get exercise and working outside in the fresh air and sunshine can rece stress（压力）．To some people，gardening is a spiritual（精神上的）activity．You plant seeds in the ground and water them．They grow into flowers and most of them die in autumn．But some will come back again the next spring，and every year after that．
Most Americans grow more than flowers in their garden．They grow fruits，vegetables and herbs（药草）．They grow food crops at home for many reasons．Some say it is satisfying to provide their own food like their ancestors（祖先）who lived on farms．Some say they can save money．Others say they want to have the freshest vegetables all summer long．
Not everyone in the United States owns land for a garden．Yet gardening is a popular activity for them，too．They may also grow flowers in containers on a balcony（阳台）high above the street or grow herbs in little boxes in a window． They may also join a community（社会团体）garden．Usually，the local（当地的）government owns the land where the community garden is planted．It could be next to an apartment（公寓） building or in a park．The land is divided into small gardens．In this way， more people get the chance to grow things，even if they do not own land of their own．
