Gardening 101

by Mara Hernandez-Capili

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 fun filled day where there are exhibits and contests to see how far gardening has gone, and how broad gardening has become. It is a one time annual experience where professionals 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.



Some of us believe that gardening is way too easy- that you just have to plant a seed and wait for it to grow. This is not certainly the case and the Garden festival might just prove us wrong on this belief. 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 satisfying hobby. Aside from its money-making aspects, it is also a very simple way of helping Mother Earth. As flower beautifies every home, its roots and shades also reduce the heat absorption of place. It's really a "green thumbs" up to those who loves gardening.
