Barry Manilow has found a new hobby - gardening. The Copacabana singer loves nothing better than pottering around in his potting shed and tending to his plants whenever he's not onstage or in a recording studio.

He says, "I make plants from seedlings. Actually, I'm not bad at it. It's a very meditative thing. "I put on my classical music and I go down there and before I know it things are popping up. It allows me to be quiet. It is very healing." (KL/TG/PAW)
