Ornamental Horticulture

Principles

The following fundamental principles are to be followed for a good industrial landscape.

1. Simplicity in design should be the key note and undue complexity is to be avoided.
2. Variety in a garden gives pleasure. But attempting too much in a small space is not desirable.
3. The ground should be so designed that the entire garden is not visible at a glance. It should be full of surprises, with each turn of the path revealing fresh vistas, or disclosing new interests.
4. Long and straight garden paths should be avoided.
5. Judicious employment of more number of plants of different varieties is desirable
6. Colour and contrast in the garden are very much desirable which would help in creating a relaxing environment for the tired employees.
