Sight everyone enjoys the beauty of a flower in full bloom, or the incredible fact that a tiny seed can produce a tree taller than your house and grow into something that can out live the person who planted it.
Smell is a fantastic sense to have when planting. Why just the smell of something can take you back in time in your mind. Experience your own private aromatherapy session in your own backyard.
Touch-it is relaxing to feel the warm dirt on your hands and the different textures of the plants after a stressful day at work or doing necessary errands in life.
Taste-since time began man has look to nature for food, so it is naturally rewarding to plant a seed, watch it sprout, mature and then be able to taste something you helped create.
