Gardening 101
Author:Every year in Lake Charles Louisiana, gardeners and plant lovers or enthusiasts, young, and old gather together to commemorate Garden Festival. Garden Festival is a part of the horticulture program, here they enhance and educate people of southwest Louisiana about horticulture. Horticulture is the science of plant cultivation, while Horticulturists are the persons who work and conduct research regarding plant and crop propagation and cultivation.
It is a green fun filled day, exhibits and contests are held to see how far gardening has gone, and how broad gardening has become. It is a one time annual experience where professional and non commercial welfare of people are unified.
During the festival, there are exhibitors who provide basic knowledge about gardening and the art of Horticulture among spectators. Amongst the demonstration and lessons given are the prevention of mishaps in garden and lawns. Also, facilitators educate the public regarding tool familiarization, clubs and societies located in the area, stores where to obtain gardening products and accessories and of course the places where they could sell their home grown plants. It is simply a day of knowledge.
We often think that gardening is easy, that anyone can just put seed in the soil and wait for it to grow. Well it’s a lot more than that; in this festival they prove us wrong, gardening is a serious job that without proper tools and knowledge gardening itself would be as hard as constructing a new building with our bare hands. Gardening takes a lot of information, proper deliberation, and passion.
Gardening is indeed a rewarding hobby and aside from its profitable aspects, it is also a very simple way of helping Mother Earth. As flower beautifies every household, its roots and shades also lessen the heat assimilation of place. It’s really a green two thumbs up to those who love gardening.
