Odd question. You don't need to have a garden (unless you have a HOA). It's your land, after all. That said, we displaced nature with cities, so we can also put some back. Gardens are nice to look at. Plants also help lower the temperature in an area, and at a macro scale, this makes a real difference in a concrete jungle. You can go further and have something like a reed bed sewage system; have the garden work for you, and the planet. Composting is a great way to deal with kitchen scraps which otherwise go to landfill, and, if you're lazy you can do a worm farm instead for similar results. Life is short, but also can be boring, and they are something to do; to care for, for better or worse. Lastly, growing food in a garden is fulfilling, and a way to save money. It doesn't need to be a huge effort, and can be very fun. We've grown over a dozen leeks last season, get a handful of blueberries every day (very easy to grow blueberries and worth it I'd say) and herbs we like on-demand.
