| Abstract/Contents: | "Human beings are creative and social beings. A human being has two ways of being creative; by fostering life and acquiring objects. The former originated in the maintenance of race and the latter in the maintenance of body. A human being also cannot live without any relationship with others, which provides him 'life worth living.' Our life in modern society is deficient in fostering life and 'life worth living,' and emphasizes the acquiring of objects. Only a few limited activities such as horticulture, raising animals and nurturing children provide us with the behavior and thought of fostering life, which presents the opportunity for us to live as human beings. 'Life worth living' is also provided by horticulture; sharing the efforts and products of horticulture such as vegetables, fruit, cut- and/or pot flowers, ornamentals, etc.; joining with others to create and/or maintain pleasant surroundings such as parks, health communities, school gardens, comfortable rooms, etc.; educating children or amateurs through gardening. Thus, horticulture helps us to live as human beings, providing balance and harmony in our behavior and thought of fostering life and acquiring objects, and 'life worth living' through communicating with others." |
