Importace of Gardening
We all know the importance of trees and plants in this world. When we imagine trees and plants, what comes into our mind is a Garden. Maintaining a garden is one of the wonderful tasks in the world. Most of the people adopt gardening as their hobby. This is because it not only helps them to spend their leisure hours but also proves useful to their family and society. Gardening does not require acres of land. Just a small area is sufficient to grow plants.
Apart from that we can grow herbs and shrubs in pot itself which makes them portable. Also we can use the worn out vessels and other containers to grow our own home kitchen garden. The next main requirement is good soil. All plants cannot be grown in the same kind of soil. It is essential to know the kind of soil that suits a particular variety. Then we need good water supply which is the primary requirement for plants. Above all we require some natural manure to nurture them. Even the kitchen wastes prove to be very good nutrients to plants.
Taking care of a garden does not require much time. It is enough if we dedicate some of our free hours in the morning and evening. We can grow a wide variety of plants like flowering plants like roses, lily etc, and a few vegetable plants like tomato, lady’s finger, onion etc. which may fulfill our daily vegetable needs and even some medicinal plants. Thus we not only make our family self sufficient, but we build a healthy atmosphere around us which also gives us peace of mind.
