In Jaipur nowadays they are working on terrace gardening and vertical gardening. For terrace gardening you need to setup in different ways for different plants. If you want grass on your terrace, you need to setup the soil bed first on which grass will grow. Using pots you can grow any type of flower plants. You can even grow vegetables on your terrace. With vertical gardening you can grow your plants on a vertical panel. These structures are either freestanding or attached to the walls. Vertical gardens free up space in your house or office and are easy to maintain. These are attractive to look at. These gardens are also known as living green walls or live walls. The vertical gardens can be grown indoors or outdoors.
All plants purify air and some are specifically used for this purpose and are known as air purifier plants, which are quite popular and are supplied by the Paudhshalam nursery. Some of these are capable of absorbing the arsenic chemicals in air and hence are very useful and popular.
Terrace gardening is getting popular in Jaipur. You can easily plant and grow vegetables on these gardens. This method can also be used by farmers with limited space to grow vegetables. This method will give them extra area and more income. They also provide organic manure and fertilizers to urban farmers following this particular type of gardening.
