stats on garden as the #1 pastime in U.S.?

Colleagues,

I'm searching for an actual citation/study/etc that says that gardening is the #1 pastime in the United States. This seems to be a well-known and oft-referred to statistic, but I'm having trouble finding out who did/does the study or survey that shows this. I've checked the NGA website and searched the internet in general, but to no avail.

Can anyone with a lead please pass it on to me?

Thanks!
Amanda
