I have to say that it is not just in gardening that the older generations judge us and say that we are not active. They call us lazy since we move back in with our parents and that because we communicate via technology that we have no idea how to communicate face to face.

I agree with a lot of the previous posts. It is not because we don't want to garden, but at this point gardening is seen as a luxury. I rent, but have wonderful landlords who would let me plant almost anything I wanted. And I've tried a couple of times, but I work a lot and when I'm not working I go and do stuff, so I"m actually not spending that much time at home during daylight gardening hours. But I think if perhaps the older generations actually took two minutes and saw how much things have changed since they were our ages they would understand why we aren't the biggest gardeners, or why we are forced to move back in with our parents. I think it is very frustrated and be so ignorantly judged.
