Shabnam Singh, Founder, Project Co. suggets ideas to maintain garden landscaping in summers.
Is gardening a basic life skill? In the immediate sense no, but if we look at the long term effects of it, then yes. Gardening does more than just beautify your surroundings, it’s proven to be therapeutic for the mind and body as well. Immersing yourself in greenery can lighten your mood and calm a stressful day. Plants also act as highly effective air cleaners; releasing clean oxygen while scrubbing away harmful gases like carbon dioxide. Given the state of Delhi’s air pollution at the moment, a well-planned outdoor or indoor garden has become almost a necessity.
People incorrectly assume however, that landscaping is something that relates only to large public parks or palaces. The truth though is that landscaping can also be done in a tasteful and artistic way for a small home garden as well. There are some basic guidelines to follow such as water, soil and availability of sunlight, but personal preference; and nowadays the need to save water and create a natural habitat plays a considerable role in developing a home garden.
