Mel Gibson does gardening to become a better person

Hollywood star Mel Gibson has revealed he does gardening to become a better person.

The "Braveheart" actor says he is always looking to improve himself and insists the best suggestion he ever received for the same was to grow vegetables, reports contactmusic.com.

"Some of the best advice I was given, a long time ago, was from a guy who said, 'You want to make yourself better, go and dig a ditch.' So, a lot of that's been going on, ditch-digging, vegetable-growing," he said.
