I'm a huge advocate of gardening. It gets you outdoors and active, gives a sense of achievement, you learn and improve over time, it's popular enough that you can get involved in a community, if you're growing veg it promotes healthy eating.

It should be mandatory.

I know you didn't really mean it literally but just to reiterate as others have done for other suggestions in this thread, this is very much an "if it works for you" sort of thing and definitely shouldn't be mandatory. I fucking hate gardening with a passion, I want absolutely nothing to do with it, though it's clearly very beneficial to others.

You... sound like my mother. She's an incredible woman, but christ, no I'm not gonna go climb a tree right now and chop off the top branches, I'm in the middle of a Minetest marathon

House plants bro. It's a game where the goal is not killing them.

I have a bamboo plant that seems to thrive on my neglect

Succulents are the answer! They thrive on neglect and look so cool and alien. I love them.

You dont seem to know this but its been shown that dirt actually has bacteria in it that have natural anti-depressant properties on humans. So you gardening and digging in the dirt is literally making u happier.
