Children’s parks and school gardens

The concern for the plants, love for plants and knowledge about plants have to be imparted to the younger generations along with other educational activities. A good relationship and interaction with plants will pave way for a better environment, healthy family, peaceful societies, stable government, etc.

Presenting attractive plants to the children will create interest and love among children. Gardening kits for children is another important aspect to be considered. Small handy gardening tools given to the children will automatically tempt them to use and involve them in gardening activities.

Several studies have shown that plants have a positive effect on the body, mind and soul. Gardens and gardening activities have been utilized for improving not only the physical health but also the mental health. Mentally handicapped people can be rehabilitated easily by bringing them to the gardens and allowing them to participate in the garden activities.
