It is well known that an outdoor lifestyle with moderate physical activity is linked to longer life. As we age, both seem to become increasingly difficult to manage, given the multitude of responsibilities that life comes with. Time to go and explore nature is a scarce thing, and it is always easier to use that time on other things. For those who cannot get into the wilds to go hiking, gardening is an excellent alternative.
