"Gardening is the purest of human pleasures."
As per a survey report, 40% of people said that Gardening and landscaping is their hobby, while most of the girls and ladies mentioned Gardening as one of their three hobbies. This is because, Gardening is an activity that's good for both the mind and body, and is enjoyed by people of all ages.
In the urban areas, people use small balconies, average rooftops for gardening purposes to enhance their lifestyle, improve the environment, and connect with the community. Most plant lovers are also known as “phytophile”. They begin with growing a variety of plants in pots (indoor or outdoor), in the terrace garden, around their house as per interest.
Plant Lovers take care of their garden personally but in most of the cases they don't grow well or survive for long. They are either replaced by another plant /the pots are kept aside and the garden remains in an ugly state. Plants cost money, sometimes a lot of money; hence poor plant survival hurts a lot and We hope this hurts you too.
