Nice, I never heard of that. Many many gardeners do enjoy a long life that is for sure. The pensioners down the allotment just do not want to give up, many of them over 80 and still diggin serotonin does wonders

Neat-0! When I first read the title, I thought it was going to be due to the physical activity releasing dopamine. I better keep up with my garden!

Huh…I do garden maintenance and while I get tired of it by the end of the year… I do feel a need to smell that dirt smell within a few weeks of the snow covering it all. A good addiction in my opinion!

You are welcome, Steve! This also probably explains why the happiest kids are usually the ones outside getting dirty.

Hey Will, AWESOME post! Thanks for making my day! Now I know why I love gardening so much. It's breathing the dirt! And I though it was just the mouth-water fresh tomatoes that were my reward. I think I'll head out and breath a little dirt right now! ~ Steve Steves last blog post..Watch This Video Or Else…

[...] This weeks search is “depressed gardeners”. Perhaps they were looking for a support group, but I am pretty sure they landed on this post from July of 2007. [...]

Will I know this was posted long time ago. But I tell you I came outside this weekend to clean up backyard as Dom was watching the baby – boy I felt good! I love gardening, and I miss it so much, too bad I had to do clean up instead of start up….lol. Anna

I’ve tried everything else, may as well give gardening a shot. I suppose the extra sun and exercise could give me a bit of a boost…

Interesting article for sure. I never would have thought that dirt had a chemical in it that actually changed the way we felt.

I always remember going out when I was younger with my grandma and would help her plant and what not. It was quite enjoyable not only because I was spending time with my grandma but because I was outside. It’s just something about the air that makes it so relaxing.

Plus the joy of getting to play with dirt when I was younger was always fun as you could imagine.

I really like gardening too. It's just great to be with nature and watching things grow. It just gets my back sometimes when I dig up a heap load of things. Jagad Guru Chris Butlers last blog post.."Buddhists are not Hedonists" by Jagad Guru Chris Butler
