About The Book

Lawns and Gardens whether to satisfy our aesthetic taste or for commercial purpose, are a unique creation. A garden is all things to all people, it may be considered a quiet corner for relaxation or entertainment or may be a proposition for profit. Whatever the purpose, harmony with environment should be the keynote of a garden.

In this book the author S.L. Jindal, one of India's leading horticulturists of his time, provides the readers the basic help to carve out a quiet nook for themselves. A well-known professional in the field, the author is credited with the designing of Roshanara Park in Delhi. He was also known as an authority on Japanese style landscaping and ornamental horticulture.

Taking tips from this book the readers can come up with a home garden of their own as a hobby and thus contribute to check the depleting green cover of the earth.

Introduction

'Once a gardener, always a gardener' refers to the many pleasures and compensations of gardening. A garden is all things to all men. To the large majority, it is a quiet corner to relax in or entertain. Others avidly raise vegetables and fruits. Yet others, fortunately only a few, complain of the backache they get.

Gardening may be for pleasure or for profit, or for both. For pleasure, one can plan an ornamental or landscape garden and for profit a vegetable or a fruit garden. The design of a garden will depend on the purpose for which a garden is wanted.

Except in the vast countryside, limitation of space is a crucial factor. Vegetation has therefore to be tamed to meet man's requirements and aesthetic tastes.

Perfect harmony with environment should be the keynote of a garden, particularly a pleasure garden. Broadly speaking, a garden should have three characteristics: naturalness, symmetry or asymmetry and the drawing together of natural and architectural features. The overall design would provide for the location of various plants and features at proper places. The design could be modified to cater to the inclinations of the individual gardener.
