Whenever we
visit a garden or a park we tend to appreciate
the beautiful flowers and the well maintained
lush green grass there. We hardly spare a
thought about the person who toiled so hard to
prepare that beautiful park or the garden. A
gardener, like most other people in our society,
is always ignored and underrated by others.
A beautiful garden is all about good gardening.
It is the result of someone's hard labour and
toil for a long period of time. A gardener first
prepares the ground by loosening the garden
soil. After that he adds manure to the soil to
make them fertile. Then he prepares the flower
beds and sows the seeds in the soil. He cares
for them night and day. He regularly waters them
so that they soon grow into young seedlings.
After a long wait, when the first petal or tiny
leaf sprouts in the sapling, it fills his heart.
The gardener toils hard to create beautiful
gardens for us. These gardens are one of the
main sources of fresh air and oxygen in our
planet. Therefore, his contribution to our
ecology and to the mankind is quite immense.
We children can learn many lessons from a
gardener. Like him we always need to work hard
without thinking about the result. Like him we
can learn to exercise our patience, perseverance
and modesty. We have a small garden in the house
and our gardener takes care of it. I join him
only on holidays and I enjoy working with him.
