Different Types of Gardens:

Gardens are places to reflect on your life or spend time alone in the sun and in private. They are a safe haven or an oasis in a busy life. Gardens are hosed with water at the most inappropriate time of day, say between 10am to 4pm, to suit the maid/helper work timings. If you go swimming then the pool will typically use 500 liters to clean its treatment filter and to annul evaporation effect at the pool. Gardens are cultivated at all levels right from the local administration to the small house owner. Botanical gardens are cultivated and maintained by the local administration to maintain the botanical diversity of a place.

Urban gardens provide environmental sustainability and reconstruction, sustenance in the form of fresh organic produce, and fulfill our longing for communion with the earth. Urban gardens are one way to become less dependent on the infrastructure for food. Where I live, there are a few houses that have been vacant for years.
Plants selected for this garden should be able to tolerate inundation for a more extended period of time. However, as in the case of the under drained rain garden, the surface is drained within four hours, although the soil may be saturated. Plants are selected to provide a succession of bloom from early spring through the first killing frost. Each is located in a setting akin to its natural habitat: woodland, wetland, flood plain or meadow. Plants are like our children. A child who is loved thrives no matter what the conditions are, but a child who has no love dies.

Plants are much less important (and sometimes nonexistent) in many karesansui gardens. Karesansui gardens are often, but not always, meant to be viewed from a single, seated perspective, and the rocks are often associated with and named after various Chinese mountains. Plant them so the base of each sits squarely on the bottom of the hole it occupies, and pack the sand firmly against it. After the cuttings are planted, water them thoroughly with a fine spray, and then cover the frame with the sash. Plant sales at the Gardens are important for supporting its maintenance and expansion. In the future they hope to offer more plant varieties to the visitor for their own garden as well as growing advice.

Organic fertilizers such as fish emulsion or blood meal can also be used if desired, but may be available too slowly for actively growing plants, or may develop sour aromas. Organic matter in the form of leaf mulch (20%) blended into a sandy soil (50%) with and about 30% top soil. The planting soil mixture provides a source of water and nutrients for the plants to sustain growth.

Flowers, shrubs, vegetables and herbs may share the same beds, and roses abound! Vines soften fences and walls, and furniture and decor is simple and comfortable. Flower gardening is simple, inexpensive, and loads of fun. It can be done for yard decoration, simply as a hobby, or even professionally.
