Gardening is perfect for those who have a busier schedule considering that it only takes a few minutes a day. However, that doesn’t make it any less rewarding. If maintained properly, by the end of the summer, you’ll have a beautiful garden full of fruits, veggies, and flowers.
- Tennis

Looking to try out a hobby that requires a bit more skill? Then, grab a couple rackets, your cutest outfit, and head to your local park with a friend to give tennis a try! Tennis requires great mental agility and speed, so it’s the perfect hobby for someone looking to improve their skills over the course of the summer months.
- roller skating

Roller skating has made a comeback in recent years and for great reason. It’s fun, cute, and a great workout, especially if you’re looking to tone your legs! Spend your summer roller skating at the beach, a skate park, and/or around your neighborhood!
