Gardening- a Challenge

Last Saturday I went to a plant exhibition cum sale organized by the Association of People with Disability. It is an NGO which helps to train physically challenged persons of low economic means in horticulture and other skills. The plants were healthy and nicely arranged in the school for the physically challenged. There were hibiscus, poinsettia, chrysanthemums , lilies , orchids and many other plants. I bought some African violets which are rare here.
The orchids were stunning. You can see the gardener who grew them, in his wheelchair.

I loved these honey coloured chrysanthemums. My friends bought some pale pink mums, bird of paradise and some hibiscus.There were hundreds of medicinal plants and herbs for sale. Everything was quite cheap


This twenty year old bonsai was already taken.



The well kept school garden was full of flowers- zinnia, marigold, ixora and petunias were blooming everywhere, adding to the cheer.
