Gardening is the most popular hobby in the United States today. Gardening is the most common use of leisure time. Anyone who wants to garden should be able to do so, regardless of their physical or mental condition. Holism is a theory that the universe and especially living nature is correctly seen in terms of interacting wholes (as of living organisms) that are more than the mere sum of elementary particles. The Holistic Garden is a garden in which all interacting systems are taken into account, the garden, the gardener and the natural ecosystem of which they are a part.
