                    Rooftop gardening If you enjoy gardening but find yourself limited by space, rooftop gardening can provide an excellent alternative, especially for city dwellers. These gardens have numerous benefits as well. For instance, rooftop gardens make use of space that would otherwise go unnoticed or unused and can be quite attractive. Rooftop gardens not only provide a unique way for urbanite gardeners to do what they love most but can also save on energy since rooftop plants supply buildings with additional insulation and shade. Furthermore, rooftop gardens can absorb rainfall, reducing runoff .          Rooftop garden design l  Nearly any type of roof can accommodate a rooftop garden. However, it’s important that you have a licensed professional check  out the structural capacity of the building beforehand in order to assess whether or not the roof is stable enough to support the additional weight of a rooftop garden. This will ultimately determine the t

                                 Fragrance garden Step outside and smell the roses, plus a host of other scented flowers too. Choosing plants shouldn’t just be about their size, shape and colour but embrace their full sensory appeal, including the most evocative of all … fragrance! Plants evolved fragrant flowers to attract pollinating insects, rewarding them with nectar and pollen they’ll discover within, but we enjoy their wonderful scents too. They have adapted to bloom at different times of the year and varying times of day to suit their insect companions, such as moths attracted to evening primrose, pinks or honeysuckle. Gardeners can take advantage of this by picking fragrant plants to enjoy at the times of the  the year they’re outdoor                        Mental and physical benefits Research on floral scents has highlighted their benefit to both mental and physical health by relieving stress and depression. Scent can also improve memory, focus and we

                                    Vegetable garden There is no comparison between the taste of a garden-fresh tomato and a grocery store-bought one that's devoid of flavour. The nature of the American food system is that grocery store produce has often been grown hundreds of miles away, meaning it can be days between harvest and your table. This process results in the quality of the product often being compromised. Though growing your own vegetables can seem overwhelming to some, it’s actually much simpler than it sounds. Even if you don’t have a yard, consider starting a patio garden or even an indoor herb garden on a windowsill. You’ll be amazed at how many tomatoes or peppers you can grow out of one pot! If you still aren’t convinced, consider these benefits of backyard gardening:                                                                                                                                                                                       

      Benefits of growing your own fruits and vegetables. Fresh and nutritious fruits and vegetables. Fruits and vegetables from your own garden are higher in nutrients than the ones that have travelled several thousand miles to get to your grocery store. Having your children assist you in the garden can increase the chance that they will eat more of the fruits and vegetables they have helped to grow. Growing your own fruits and vegetables can offer you the opportunity to reduce the number of pesticides that you use in your garden, making them healthier.

                   Importance of home garden Statistics bear out the significant increase in human population and the millions of acres each year that are taken from native habitat for housing, commercial and industrial uses. Along with these numbers research shows that songbirds, meadow birds and their food sources are in great decline.                                        Beyond the benefits of home food production and increased property values, today suburban landscapes are becoming the lifelines for plants and animals that have lost their native habitat to development. As development continues wildlife is forced to depend upon our human-dominated landscapes for their continued survival.                                                                What is planted in home landscapes plays an important role in determining the future of wildlife "[G]ardeners have the power to make a significant contribution" toward variety in both plants and animals wrote D

Much thought about, treasured and longed for as anchor of our existence, the home has been the subject of abundant written work and other cultural products. we might reasonably suppose, therefore the home is a readily understood concept and a source of positive feelings. why we need to create a home       One of the most meaningful activities we are ever engaged in is the creation of a home. Over several years, typically with a lot of thought and considerable dedication, we assemble furniture, crockery, pictures, rugs, cushions, vases, sideboards, taps, door handles and so on into a distinctive constellation we anoint with the word home. As we create our rooms

As such it is very important to ensure that air quality is of very high standard something that home air purifying plants can help us to achieve.  Back in 1989, NASA conducted a clean air study in association with Associated landscape contractors of America in an effort to find the most effective indoor plants for filtering harmful toxins and pollutants from the air. The most effective air-filtering plants can be found below.
