Classification of Gardens
There are numerous reasons why
people choose the freedom to
raise
their own gardens. Quite a number of people desire to beautify their
surroundings, while others want exercise and relaxation. On the other
hand, large numbers of people have environmental concerns, and some do
gardening for the joy of growing their own cheaper, fresher, and
tastier homegrown produce. Consequently, there is a plethora of
information available about the activity of gardening from books,
magazines, newspapers, TV, gardening supply companies, government
agencies, and the Internet.
Typically the pastime of gardening
is passed down from family members or experienced gardeners. What is
more, many who start gardening as a hobby later become involved in it
more professionally by selling
their plants or produce, developing new
hybrids, or pursuing education to work for botanical gardens, or as
landscape architects. Actually the vocation of gardening belongs to the
field of horticulture under the branch of agricultural
science. Horticulture is the practice and science of
cultivating gardens of
flowers, foliage, fruits, vegetables, shrubs, and trees. In a few
words, gardens are either classified indoor gardens or outdoor gardens.

gardens. While ornamental gardens enhance and beautify their
surroundings, production gardens provide flowers, fruits, herbs, or
vegetable harvests. Moreover, many gardeners grow a combination of

gardens consists of: site
selection, soil
analysis, fertilizing,
and planning.
