質問: Do many people grow vegetables or flowers at home in your country?

No, not many people grow vegetables or flowers at home in my country. Most people live in apartments, so they don’t have a garden or even a balcony to plant things. Also, people are really busy with work and study, so they don’t have much free time for gardening. It’s just easier to buy vegetables and flowers from the market or supermarket. I think young people especially aren’t very interested in gardening these days.

Actually, not many people do it, especially in the cities. The majority of people live in apartments without gardens or even balconies, so there’s just no space for growing plants. Plus, with everyone leading such busy lives, it’s much more convenient to just buy vegetables and flowers from the supermarket. I’d say gardening isn’t really popular among young people either, as they tend to have other hobbies and interests.

Some people still grow vegetables or flowers at home, especially older people who have more free time. In the countryside, it’s quite common because people have gardens and they like to grow their own food. Also, gardening is becoming a bit more popular as a way to relax and reduce stress. Some schools and communities even have gardening projects to encourage people to try it.

There are definitely some people who do, particularly older generations and those living in rural areas. For retirees, gardening is a relaxing hobby and a way to stay active. In the countryside, it’s quite normal for families to grow their own vegetables and flowers. Recently, gardening has started to catch on as a way to unwind and escape from the pressures of city life. Plus, some schools and community groups are promoting gardening projects, which is helping to make it more popular.
