Most young boys don't like growing flowers and watering them. But for 16-year-old Angus, working in the garden isn't just a hobby — it has changed his life.
Angus has a special illness and his IQ is lower than a normal boy. Six months ago, he started learning how to grow flowers. Now, he spends hours in the garden growing flowers, watering and looking after them. “Before working in the garden, it was difficult for Angus to concentrate in class and sometimes he didn't want to go to school,” said his mother Elizabeth. “Now he can't wait to go to school and he is happy every day. We can see Angus is able to work in a garden center in the future,” Angus' teacher said.
A research shows that working in the garden improves mental(精神的) health. In the past, soldiers in Egypt treated their mental problems after war by working in the garden. Even now, some doctors advise people to work in the garden to have good health. And doctors also advise young people like Angus to work in the garden.
