There are many types of garden, including flower garden, fruit garden, vegetable garden, botanical garden, and medicinal herb garden. People like growing fruit or vegetable gardens near their homes. These gardens are known as gardens of the kitchen. Some of the colleges also have their own gardens to work in for their learners.              Gardening is a good and enjoyable pastime. Each garden is surrounded by a fence. Usually, fences are made of wood or bamboo. The green fence is raised around the garden sometimes.

               The garden is split into various parts. Each section is split into beds. Every bed is surrounded by an earthen uplift. For flower crops, fruit trees, vegetables, and medicinal herbs, some parts are intended. In distinct seasons, people raise distinct types of vegetables. Pumpkin, gourd, bitter gourd, garlic, tomato, snake gourd, brinjal, bean, pea, cabbage, turnip, cauliflower, radish, spinach, ladyfinger, etc. It is also possible to grow fruit trees such as apples, chickoos, plums, etc. In addition, it is possible to grow various types of shrubs, creepers, and trees in a garden. Everything comes under the kingdom of plants.

By working both morning and evening, they keep the garden neat and tidy. The manure the gardens as well. It is very essential to take care of insect crops in the garden. For the crops, insects can be dangerous. On the crops, flowers, and fruits, they lay eggs. Sprinkling insecticides can destroy these eggs. In the soil, lime is occasionally blended to kill the germs and bacteria in it. So the soil’s fertility improves.

                        While many crops grow in the wild, in their homes or yards, individuals also grow and grow certain crops, bushes, and trees. This activity is referred to as gardening. Although it may seem to some as a hobby, the reality is that gardening is truly quite useful and therefore essential to us. Gardening is an activity that is quite physical.

Unity is Strength

                          In today’s time where there is cut-throat competition everywhere and every individual is trying to apply his or her method to reach on top, very few recognize the importance of proverb ‘Unity is strength’. Also, this proverb has now become confined to inspirational books and motivational lectures. So, very few people actually understand the importance and thus it’s application in their lives. But these people that are actually more satisfied as well as content in their lives that actually applies it.

                   This proverb also applies when it comes to relationships. People nowadays are so blinded by the success and the power that they want to be ahead of their colleagues, relatives, and friends. Thus, they get into professional as well as personal rivalries with each other most of the times so, they do not understand that they cannot move ahead as well as enhance their skills, knowledge, and help each other. Thus, when we go against our team-mates and start to compete with them in an office setting, then people from another team will benefit from the situation. Also, another reason here people grow apart because of mistrust. This becomes true especially when it comes to the husband-wife relationship. Also, here we often see couples doubting each other always. So, they start to question small things and doubt them of lying or cheating. So, outsiders take advantage of these type of situations. Also, they fuel the doubt and thereby create conflict between the two in order to fulfill their own motives. Also, this will not only have a negative impact on the two but also on the kids. So, if the wife and husband stay united and defend each other than no one can create the rift between the two.

                    The proverb also holds true when it comes to society and the nation as a whole. The societies and localities where people stay united are loved by everyone. Thus, people living here meets as well as greets their neighbors with a smile, guard their neighbor’s house, help out each other in crisis, etc. Also, they celebrate each and every function together and conducts other social gatherings every now and then. In the current world, many people are suffering from loneliness as well as depression, these types of neighborhood can be a boon. Similarly, nations around the globe are very busy fighting each other in order to prove that they are better than one another. So, every nation has nuclear weapons and many terrorist organizations have been formed. So, if we stop all these kinds of malpractices than the world will become a much better place to live.

Cruelty to Animal

                       All laws of benevolence prohibit animal cruelty. In the event of livestock, no plea can justify cruelty, as bad creatures can do little to protect themselves. There are many types of cruelty to livestock. It is suffered primarily by those who have little knowledge of how the sensitive equilibrium of nature is to be maintained by different species.

                          At the top of the list is a kind of’ government-sponsored cruelty that is evident from the sorry state of our zoos where animals are kept in cramped cages, some of which’ stink’ so badly that you can’t get the strength to look at the animals more closely. Behind the doors of the laboratory is the most horrifying instance of cruelty — young animals in the laboratory are being tortured in the name of studies and experimentation.

                 In cosmetics, 60,000 chemicals are used and often tested on rats, rabbits, guinea pigs, mice, and monkeys. To determine corneal irritation, corrosive chemicals are injected into the eyes. In order to determine tissue deterioration, animals are frozen in ice and put on hot plates. Every year, about ten million animals are murdered in experiments. Other cases of worldwide reported cruelty include rare species such as Liver Ridley tortoises becoming enmeshed in the trawler’s nets, leading in suffocation, or spinal tailed lizards Sold to create aphrodisiacs. In the presence of prospective clients, their necks are snapped. The fins of the sharks are sliced and the bad animals flow back into the ocean to die a painful death. Frog legs are also cut, which are handled as a delicacy. Also, the juvenile chiru deer fur is used to make’ shawls’ of exotic toosh. Despite hundreds of animals and birds being trapped and killed in the name of custom and tradition, despite the laws.

                 There is legislation specified solely to save the rare and rapidly decreasing species. For example, the Constitution’s Article 15A(G) aimed at protecting and improving the natural environment. The Wildlife Protection Act of 1972 is another comparable law. But the anomaly is that there is not enough implementation of any of this legislation. Also, the Wildlife Protection Act, for example, was revised in 1991, but it could not stop India’s exotic bird trade. Obviously, regulations alone are unable to safeguard animals from extinction. It will only occur if we learn to love and acknowledge the sanctity of both human and animal life types.
