Population in cities is increasing exponentially, more than half of them are migrants from villages in search of a livelihood who left Green & calm environments and entered into the concrete jungle. Most of these people feel that their children missed the experience & benefits of natural healthy rural life. Also, Parents visiting city homes of their children cannot tolerate the polluted city atmosphere even for a week. We find dust and smoke everywhere, even healthy people experience suffocation, people with asthma and allergy find it difficult to breathe.

Village life is just a sweet memory for senior citizens who left their village decades ago & they cannot go back now. A small relief for all these feeling is having a  garden or visiting an agritourism center. There is no space left for ever increasing population for itself then where do you plant a garden, the answer is kitchen/ terrace garden or rooftop garden. Here are some pictures of our office terrace Garden

“To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow; Put your soul into it, throw seeds and take care of them”

“You have to be very patient. It will take a couple of months to start giving results so you should not give up and keep taking care of the plant”

“Gardening is about enjoying the smell of things growing in the soil, getting dirty without feeling guilty, and generally taking the time to soak up a little peace and serenity” – Lindley Karstens

“I grow plants for many reasons: to please my soul, to challenge the elements or to challenge my patience, for novelty, or for nostalgia, but mostly for the joy in seeing them grow”– David Hobson

Gardening is medicine that does not need a prescription… and has no limit on dosage.  “Gardening simply does not allow one to be mentally old, because too many hopes and dreams are yet to be realized” – Allan Armitage

“The greatest change we need to make is from consumption to production, even if on a small scale, in our own gardens. If only 10% of us do this, there is enough for everyone”– Bill Mollison.

There ain’t nothing better in life than true love and a home grown tomato. Did you know that food tastes way better when you grow your own what are you waiting for?
