Welcome to my blog. It is all about gardening. Click on the various links that you will find on the right side of this page and get yourself equipped with whatever you wish to know. Some of those links belong to expert gardeners as chosen by those in authority.
If you love yourself you will love gardening as that will help save planet earth.
The planet is on the verge of destruction but you can be the saviour
Start planting and see the difference.
It is disheartening to see priorities going topsy tury. People are more into plastic flowers, concreted surroundings, and anything that kills nature and the environment. This must stop and forthwith.
My call is for those retired. Adopt this hobby and you will never regret it. I am a senior citizen and I know what gardening has done to me.
Destruction of greenery is a sure way to destroying the world. Maintaining the ecological balance is so essential and that can be achieved if each and everyone contributes to greenery.
When you get up in the morning birds, flowers and fruits will welcome you. A new fruit, a fresh bud and a red shoot on a rose sapling could be more than treasures money can buy.
A time will come in your life when you no longer want human company but these mute but innocent creatures that give you more happiness than sometimes your very own family or friends could.
Growing your own vegetables, herbs and fruits will not only ensure good health but a wonderful pass time.
There are online shops that can send you seeds right at your door step. Even your garden friends could help you with cuttings or seeds on an exchange basis. What better joy than having a barter deal.
Gardening is an innocent pass time.
What starts as a hobby could transform into a paying proposition.
I gave up my 9 to 5 job and started my own business designing landscaped gardens. I felt like as some might say 'All this and heaven too' What better happiness in converting a passion into an earning prospect.
Hope you are now convinced there is more to gardening than someone just calling you a gardener Home grown 

What we see in the world today are more concrete jungles than the good old jungles that ruled the roost. With population increasing at a galloping rate it has become necessary to maul down forests and put up high rise buildings as residential complexes. This is a necessity but every tree cut down can be replaced by planting more. It does not take much space to add to the greenery that is lost on account of the concrete jungles that have been created. There is no activity greater than gardening. It is packed with goodness. Creating an interest in gardening has several benefits including the kind of peace one gets looking at the results of one's efforts.

Every bit counts. Whether one  lives on a farm, a house or even a flat there is scope for everyone to do their bit. It is more a necessity than a mere hobby to be enjoyed. The world is desperate to get back its original state - flora and fauna in all its glory. Rather than spend time in gyms a work out in the garden can provide the kind of exercise one needs to keep one in trim.

A little time spent everyday to nurture even a single plant can make one's day. A tiny bud emerging on a plant or a small fruit visible on the tree can get one into ecstasy  - fruits of one's labour - adding a spring in one's step. Nature beckons you. Accept the invitation. Help the world to be a better place. Rid the world of pollution. Gardening can do that.

Posted by mythoughts at 4:45 PM Labels: farmhouse, gardening, home garden Having worked for a multi national for several years I have had a good exposure that has made me what I am today - confident, well versed ad raring to go. What was a hobby became a business venture designing landscaped gardens.
