Pakistan Gardening Forum

i would like the all members and gardening enthusiasts to share their views about this topic.

Hmmmm.... when i started gardening firstly people on my street looked at me awkwardly for getting my own hands dirty... but now i see the whole street ( 8 Houses) getting hold of Malis and uplifting their lawns .....I guess its that simple

good it works well, i would like more ideas for practical implementation any how thanks for feedback.

Dear Imran,

We have some plans in our mind. Mir Afzal sb. is working on them. They include activities in schools, participating in flower shows, arranging good quality seeds, fertilizers for forum members. Its a long process and needs serious efforts and patience. I think for the first step we should increase the count of active forum members and as these activities will require monetary support, we need members who can contribute to this part as well.

Feel free to give your feedback..

idea : hold something in your own back yard, invite a few neighbours or friends even kids .. plant some stuff with them and let them take it home .. theyll surely call you for advice on how to keep it alive or at least it will spark some interest in gardening .

thanks izhar and sara for contribution to this topic, if you people find more ideas and share your contributions for this cause i would be more pleased. people who are working on this subject should be connected and we should arrange work plan for practical implementation pf this project i am with you all and i hope we will gather soon and think more for this.

Organize gardening workshops in schools , give free seeds,flowers and other stuff.

One thing that everyone can do ... When you have flowers, send them to your neighbour and the people living nearby.Cutflowers would be better.It'll urge them to grow their own flowers.

What are your ideas imran? What do you think needs to be done to promote gardening and people more aware?

Ofcourse we will gather soon to discuss these things. The DHA flower show lahore is coming on March 15-17 in Sheeba park lahore. I will be messaging the lahore members those who can join there. The Lawrence garden flower exhibition will be held later.

khabbab i am writing an article on this topic now a days soon you will find there many ideas including mine ideas too. the exhibitions are also a strong motive for promotion, i will visit and hope many other people of this forum too.

For me it is like lightening one candle with another , we have to start with our family parents, siblings, children, then we have to enlarge the circle to our friends, neighbours , cousins , relatives ... this is atleast the minimum responsibility of every gardening lover. Giving them plants as gifts, guiding them, encouraging them will create interest for them. OR bare minimum we can pass it into our next generatio through our childrenn, this should be part of their upbringing.

Gardening is how I relax. It's another form of creating and playing with colors ^ (quote)
