DISH GARDENING

Landscaping refers to any activity that modifies the visible features of an

area of land, including:

1. living elements, such as flora or fauna; or what is commonly called gardening,

the art and craft of growing plants with a goal of creating a beautiful

environment within the landscape.

2. natural elements such as landforms, terrain shape and elevation, or bodies

of water; and

3. abstract elements such as the weather and lighting conditions.

A dish garden is a garden of plants growing in a shallow dish or bowl for a container. The dish garden can be landscaped to represent a scene in nature, it is a miniature ecosystem. The plants used in a dish garden should be compatible and cultivars that stay small or grow very slowly are most commonly used. The medium should be well drained, but hold adequate moisture and should not be very fertile, since a fertile medium would tend to encourage rapid growth. If the container has drainage holes, a saucer or other protective device should be put under it.

Types of Landscaping 1. LANDSCAPING OF HOME

Landscaping as it is done for larger estates or public parks can also be implemented in a tasteful and

artistic way for a small home ground, though on a smaller scale. The simplest definitive or "small" is an area

which can be effectively managed and maintained physically as well as financially by the owner and his family

with occasional hired labour for such hard work as digging, mowing, and shearing of hedges.

2. LANDSCAPING OF INSTITUTE

A planned and properly landscaped school building will be different in appearance and beauty than

unplanned one. Moreover a good garden in the campus inculcated aesthetic sense to our younger

generation.

3. LANDSCAPING OF INDUSTRY

In modern times, a factory should not become a place of only machinery, dust, pollution and noise,

but should also be provided with nicely laid-out parks and gardens. This is not only needed from the

point of beautification, but also to fight pollution and dust. The primary aim in a factory garden will be to

plant trees to arrest the drifting dust and smoke and to cut down noise.

4. ROOF GARDENING

Garden is an embellished area with plants. The importance of gardening has been well understood by

every individual. The gardens not only serve as a place of recreation, it also serves as a place for

education by the way of establishing a home garden or botanical gardens. The art of creating the

greenery and maintaining the greenery is known as “Roof Gardening”. This is also known as Terrace

gardening.
