Whether gardening is a feminine activity is entirely a matter of opinion.

Some people do view tending a garden as “women’s work.” Others have zero preference.

In the grand scheme of things, though, the opinions of others don’t really matter.

There is nothing about gardening that makes it inherently feminine or masculine.

Some believe the very first man was put on Earth specifically to garden. From what I've heard it doesn't seem to be strongly associated with any gender throughout history. And even presently it's only called feminine by absolute buffoons who have never grown a plant in their life.

It's pretty popular in France for old men to like gardening (even flowers) so no I don't think of it as feminine but as an elderly things to do.

Since when the hell has gardening been seen or referred to as feminine?

Gardening isn’t girly more men are gardeners than women.


Everyone I’ve seen online advertising their services are men.


Everyone who lives around me who does their gardens are men.


The only women you see Doing the garden are either alone with no man or the man is lazy and makes her do it.


In my opinion gardening is a man thing.


Not saying a woman can’t garden she can but it’s more for men.

I know a lot of women who do the gardening and enjoy it. It doesn't mean their boyfriends, fiancés or husbands are necessarily lazy because they don't do the gardening.

Nope. Gardening/farming is very physical activity... Most women can't actually do it beyond a very small scale. It's too physically demanding.

I grow a garden every summer. Some years have been better than others. I am already thinking about this years garden.

No I woudnt say taking care of you're property makes you "femine" and so what if it did? If it makes you happy then do it, you won't be harming anybody.

I'm not sure why would anyone think it's feminine. I love gardening. Indoor gardening. balcony gardening. It's fun and very useful.

The menly men?

[LiamJHayden]

Some might think so, till the shortages come and you have food and they have dirt.

[driven159]

No, it's smart to be able to grow your own food and be self-reliant the way the world is going now.
