#2 The Styles

     There’re many styles of gardens, for instance, gardens for individuals, for public, vegetable garden etc.

      First, I’ll talk about personal gardens. To say gardening, most of people may imagine it. The activity of it is to plant some flowers or trees in your garden and to take care of them. Indoor gardening and wall gardening are one of the styles of gardening for houses without gardens. Indoor gardening is, as its name suggests, glowing houseplants indoors. It can color your room and it is said that these plants have an effect to clear the air of these rooms. Wall gardening is to glow plants with hanging baskets on the outer wall of the house, fence and so on. This needs light soil not to these baskets fallen. In addition, vegetable gardens are very helpful in getting reliable vegetables cheaper. It is possible to cultivate vegetables without chemicals.

     Second, public gardens are far different from personal one as I said in the last week. Then, “garden” and “botanical garden” are quite different from others. “Garden” is an institution for ordinary people only to enjoy landscapes of flowers and trees. “Botanical garden” seems it is a part of facilities for research, and then some part of the foundation is opened to the public. It is said the first modern botanical garden is “Orto botanico di Pisa” (Italy, 1543). Some of these gardens place importance on education and put scientific library.


       Scoops are one of the most important tools, needless to say, without them, we can’t plant flowers. Watering cans are another key implement for gardening. To use watering cans in smaller gardens and hoses in larger gardens is efficient. It may good to use sprayer indoors. When you buy scissors or shears, check the power of springs and shape of grips. It can lighten your tiredness with work on gardening that tools suit for you.


      Final, I’ll show you some types of plants. Foliage plants are mainly put indoors. But they can be seen in tropical gardens. Lawns are not so outstanding but very effective to make the garden more beautiful. It is good to exhibit flowers that taller plants are back and shorter plants are front. Shrubs and tall trees can make levels and give gardens some accents. If the walls look bare, baskets or ivy is good to decorate them. Herbs look good and are useful. They can grow in the same soils to flowers.
