About National Gardening Exercise Day

When is National Gardening Exercise Day? This holiday is always observed on June 6

Everyone knows gardening is therapeutic.  It’s good for the mind, body, and soul. Gardening Exercise Day, a June 6 holiday, allows us to go out and burn off calories and have fun doing it. National Gardening Exercise Day is intended to recognize the important physical health benefits of gardening.

In reality, gardening is exercise. Experts say the various activities and tasks of gardening ultimately uses all of the major muscle groups. In addition, strenuous gardening activities such as raking, hoeing, and digging are both aerobic and muscle strengthening.

Take time today to celebrate one of America’s favorite hobbies. Go out and exercise with, and among, your plants.
