Maintenance and Development of Herbal Garden

Life begins the day you start gardening. Being a treditional medicine college, Maintaining herbal garden in the campus is a good place and idea to create awareness of conservation and traditional uses of herbs to the students and visitors.
With the purpose of conservation and creating awareness about the medicinal herbs tha are used in making traditional drugs, rovers of FoTM collected and planted more than 30 species of locally available high altitude and low altitude herbs inside college campus. Herbal garden is available for the students and other visitors to go around and explore its medicinal uses. Students were also made aware about its home remedies and benifits.
Maintenance of herbal was very useful for the traditional medicine students to identify the particular herb and know its medicinal values and remedies. When identification of medicinal herbs exam approaches, students usually visit herbal garden to practically explore the herbs. Moreover the garden is made available for the visitors who are excited about the medicinal plants.
Practically seeing the herbs and gardening was much better than looking at the pictures of herbal plants. I have learned so much about its medicinal values, it's habitat, and it's home remedies. Moreover gardening has helped me to love nature and its beauty.
