Everyone needs a place to relax. Some prefer libraries, while others prefer teahouses and cafés. My ultimate choice to find peace is my garden. There is something about the green grass, colourful flowers, chirping birds, and woody trees that instantly calms me down in any tense situation. No other place, yoga session, or therapy has had that effect on me. Here are a few sample essays on “My Garden”.
“Green Heaven” is the name of my garden. It is my favourite place in the house. I built this garden plant by plant with the help of my grandmother. We cleared the backyard of our house and with some old gardening tools, we planted our first sapling in a corner. It bloomed in a few weeks. I never looked back after that.
Today, my garden has over 20 flowers including my favourite - white lilies, and five different fruit trees. I also love roses grown in my garden. During spring, my garden looks like heaven with lots of butterflies, birds and small insects making their home in it.
My day starts with a cup of tea, a newspaper, and the fruity and flowery smell in the air as I sit in the midst of my garden. I love the essence and vibe of my garden. It fills me with calmness and energy every morning. After doing a walk, I also practise yoga with my grandfather in my garden. Whenever I feel restless and disturbed, I seek refuge in my garden only. It gives me so much peace.
My garden is an outcome of a joint project undertaken by my father and grandfather. They both are very fond of planting trees. My grandfather was a farmer, and therefore has a tremendous amount of knowledge of different varieties of fertilisers, shrubs, herbs, and trees. His knowledge helped us to grow our small rough patch of land into this wonderful garden which now has over 50 different plants. We have planted seven different varieties of roses. My grandfather has also planted many herbal plants such as Tulsi and Neem. He makes tea and even medicines occasionally from these leaves.
My favourite place in the garden is the branches of the huge Mango tree in the corner. It was planted by my grandfather 10 years ago. I love to spend my time sitting on that branch.
When we moved from the high-rise 3 BHK flat in Mumbai to the suburbs, I was disappointed and sad. The only good thing about our new house was that it was relatively bigger than our flat. The house also had a backyard which was used as a secondary car garage by the previous owners.
Since we didn’t have a second car, my father cleared out the backyard, and we were left with a large patch of empty land. It was my grandmother’s idea to convert the land into a small, beautiful and cosy garden. My grandmother always loved gardening. Back in the flat, she used to tie up small flower pots in the railings. Now was the perfect time to make her part-time gardening hobby into a full-blown garden. My father and my uncle tiled up the entire land and planted grass. It took a few weeks, but soon the whole land was greener than grasshoppers. After that, they used a lawn mower and trimmed down the grass. That is how my garden was born.
After that, with the passing of time and the dedication and passion of gardening in my mother, grandmother and eventually I, we completely transformed that place into a beautiful, lush green garden.
Vegetables | My garden has many vegetables grown by my mother. We have tomatoes, brinjals, radishes, and chillies. We often use them in our daily meals, and they turn out very delicious.
Flowering Plants | Not only that, but we also have many plants in my garden. The flowering plants are mostly planted by me. My father gifts me a flower sapling every year on my birthday. By now I have rose, lily, marigold and hibiscus plants. They look very pretty in the months of spring. The red rose is my favourite as it attracts many butterflies.
Medicinal Plants | My grandmother has planted many herbal and medicinal plants. She has planted a Tulsi tree in the centre of the garden, and she worships it daily. I love munching on the tulsi plant leaves.
Fountain | This year, on my birthday, I requested my father to have a fountain. A few weeks ago, we got the water fountain installed in the garden. It enhanced my garden’s beauty ten-fold.
We don’t have a gardener to look after our garden. I love to take care of my garden on my own. I borrow the gardening tools from my grandmother and trim excess leaves, cut the stems and even water the plants on a daily basis. It feels very calming to take care of my own garden. Whenever my friends come, they immediately rush to the garden. We play near the fountain, do our homework, and even plan picnics on the weekend in my garden only.
My garden has made me forget how upset I was about moving to the suburbs. Now that I think back, it was one of the best decisions of my life. I always find comfort and safety in my garden. It feels like all these trees and plants are my friends and I love caring for them. In spring, many birds and insects make my garden their own home. I also love feeding the bird in my garden. Now I think gardening is one of the best hobbies in the world, and I love my garden so much.
