Gardening is growing plants to get their flowers or vegetables. Gardening can be done anywhere, as long as there is soil. Usually people who take up gardening will lay out a garden in their lawn, whether they want to grow flowers or vegetables. However, now you can start gardening anywhere you want - be it on the rooftop, balcony, in an atrium, patio and also in a window box. The options are getting wider. So what is the difference between gardening and farming? Both activities involve plants but gardening is a more leisurely activity that is done for entertainment, and fun whereas farming is for commercial use.

Impact gardening is using a small space to optimise the plants. Indoor gardening is growing house plants within a house or building. Water gardening is planting water plants in ponds or pools. Container gardening is growing plants in different pots and baskets. Community gardening involves a large area of land that is maintained by a group of people. However, beware of pests while gardening, as the pests such as insects might cause the whole garden to die off. The basic gardening tools and necessities include soil, seeds, fertilizers and also a hoe for digging the soil.
