A JOURNEY TOWARDS NATURE..

Nature is the gift of god. It attracts the living beings towards itself. Nature is build with big trees, decorative leafy plants, bush shrubs, colorful fish ponds, music making insects , melody voice birds , sharp sunlight, soft moon light, breeze of wind, beauty and fragrance of flowers, happiest animals etc. the nature having the magnetic power to attract the living being towards itself due to the presence of the above things. In this machine world we plan to make a journey to nature forests or hills stations even once in a year, Why the nature having the power to soften our heart by releasing the stress from our mind. The breeze of nature enters into our body and removes the heat which generates by the excessive pressure/stress from our industry or office etc. in the metro cities like Bangalore and Chennai you can see lot of people are spending their evening times in the parks. Because their life was machine life and their mind was fully packed by stress from morning till they leave their office, so they searching the place to relax. Since the plants and trees are cutting for the development of city by building many industries, bridges, roads etc the area of nature is reducing in the townships. That makes more pollution in those areas and the generation of oxygen is reducing on such places. So naturally industries and villas were plan to make a natural garden in front of their buildings. Thus the people gives more importance to gardening. But nowadays the gardening plays major role in the cities than villages. What is gardening; Gardening is one kind of art to create a natural atmosphere in the required place by designing the land, fixing the grass and flowering plants. A gardener is the artist of a garden. A garden consists of a lawn turf, flowering plants, fruit plants, indoor plants, hanging plants, ornamental plants, creepers etc. the gardens will be designed and developed based on the customers budget and the availability of the land for gardening. Now the industries and the institutions are concentrating more on gardening than the villas. Why gardening more in cities than villages. You can simply find out why, the density of plants and trees are more in villages than the cities. How the cities were arise./ only by destroying the nature by cutting trees and leveling the nature land to build large industries and complex. The emission of pollution is generated more in industries and from city vehicles. Population also more in cities. The city living people are most of them employee and employers. So they have to survive there for a long in the polluted area and they cant go villages to get the fresh air or to breathe pure oxygen to relax their minds. Due to the pollution and higher population the quantity of oxygen level is low compared to village. That is the reason why the gardening plays a major role in cities than villages. In villages they have the garden by naturally and their villas covered by more no of plants and trees.

What is the Purpose of gardening. Gardens plays a major role in cities because no one can purchase the relaxation from a shop, but anyone can relax and release their stress while they merged into nature. The attractive and fragrant flowers, insects and birds sounds, chillness in the grass lawn, melodies breeze of garden are attracts the human beings towards itself. So everyone forget their self and fully merged into the beauty of nature by feeling it. In the metro cities, mainly in front of the software industries, because the employees of software concerns feel the extreme stress by the overload of the concern. So the industry itself provides the park to the refreshment of their employees. Apart from the above the gardens are give a natural and rich look to the concern. It creates a natural atmosphere around the concern and arrests the most of the polluted particles at the same time which absorbs carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen. So the working atmosphere will be fresh forever. What are the types of gardening used in general 1. Lawn with flowering plants garden 2. Flowering plants only garden 3.
